물랭-엥길베르트 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

모르반의 베네치아!

Trail past the waterfall is essentially blocked by many fallen trees. I would recommend the alternative trail from Villapourcon of about 11 km.

After the waterfall, the path is no longer easy to follow. There must have been a storm; a pile of fallen trees are lying around, and the path is no longer recognizable. It gets better again after crossing the small river.

The photo does not correspond to the St Honoré thermal baths but to the old Morvan hotel with the restaurant of the current casino in the glass roof.

Beautiful, recommended walk. Small problem: the indicated right turn at km 6.44 is a non-accessible private road. Simply continue and turn right at km 7.32 to find the proposed road again after +/- 150 m (uphill).

Pretty village typical of the region with several shops, cafes and restaurants. All that remains are the ramparts and two partially preserved buildings of the Moulins-Engilbert castle which dates from the 10th to the 15th centuries.

In 1723 there was a glassworks in Vandenesse. In the 18th century the riches of Vandenesse gave rise to quarries, mines, forges, a metallurgical furnace, a fulling mill, an oil mill and mills as well as a nuns' convent which closed around 1970. At the end of the 19th century the village turned to agriculture and livestock. In the 20th century industrial and artisanal activities stopped, during the rural exodus the village became depopulated. Today tourists can admire the pretty village and the Castle.

You will notice that most castles are located in strategic defensive positions, which is not the case with this castle. But the region around the castle is crossed by the Dragne river which served as a natural defense on one side. The castle is privately owned, but can be admired from the main road.
