20의 생 쿠아 뒤 라제가지 명소 & 주요 장소

녹색 미로(Labyrinthe Vert) 트레일 시작 부분에는 중세 풍차 두 개의 유적이 서 있으며, 이 풍차들은 과거 고원의 바람을 이용하여 곡물을 빻았습니다. 그중 하나는 점령 기간 동안 독일군에 의해 관측소로 재사용되었으나 연합군의 폭격으로 파괴되었습니다. 오드 피레네 산맥을 마주한 이 장소는 아름다운 파노라마를 제공하며 이끼 낀 석회암 미로인 녹색 미로로 들어가는 이상적인 입구를 표시합니다.

The ruins of this 12th century castle are among the most famous of the Cathar castles in the region. The site where it is located is remarkable.

Large section above Alet les Bains is fenced off and blocks the route - even slipping around the fence isn’t worth it as the ridiculously steep climb is up a boulder field and unrideable in the direction shown. Some parts of the route are really nice but (1) private land and (2) impassable section makes it a bad day out - avoid

A forest like in a fairy tale. Hansel and Gretel would have loved to get lost here... ☺️ [I hope the fairy tale is known in France too] The only difference is that children today use a cell phone with GPS instead of breadcrumbs. And I would recommend that to everyone, along with OSM maps. There are a few variants branching off from the circular route, so you can walk in circles at dusk... 🙄

The green labyrinth is truly rewarding! Bring your GPS to find your way back. 😉 In my photos, the spot with the exposed rocks also appears to be a small labyrinth. Unfortunately, Komoot seems to have combined highlights from different spots (which is why my photos have moved to the back 😉)

This is really something, a great labyrinth with its own atmosphere.

A very pleasant hike, but be careful, it's not that easy! The terrain is quite steep, with many muddy patches during this wet season! It's slippery! In fact, one woman was a victim! So be careful, depending on the weather :) The entire hike isn't easy for younger children. Not stroller-friendly!

In 1210 the castle was besieged by a French general. The aim was to kill the Cathars living there. However, the then lord of the castle, Bernard de Congost, managed to flee unseen. He finally died in 1232 on Montségur. Until 1279 there was a vast lake at the foot of the castle, but due to the lowering of the water level by the then lord of the castle, the lake has disappeared. Due to the work, a rock wall broke and several hamlets, including Mirepoix, located 30 km away, were washed away. Ancient Mirepoix was on the opposite bank from its present location.
