세르바스 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Starting point: the parking lot for some hikes, paragliding, etc... Beautiful view!

Training is required before attempting it! The gradient is significant, but what a pleasure when you reach the top!!!

the warm-up before the big bang

Anyone hiking through the hilly landscape around Saint-Jean and Saint-Florent today encounters silent traces of a rich past. Even before coal was mined here, iron was the most important commodity – since ancient times and especially in the Middle Ages. The medieval mines were simple and dangerous. Without ventilation and with shallow tunnels, they followed the iron-rich pyrite veins – often no more than 100 meters long. As early as 1512, a prospector's license cost a whopping 32 florins. The mined ore was further processed locally: From the Middle Ages to the 19th century, the valley was known for its nailsmiths – in 1676 alone, up to 45 masters worked here. Nature also tells its story: The strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo), typical of the garrigue, bears flowers and ripe fruit simultaneously. The rare Jason butterfly (Charaxes jasius), Europe's largest butterfly, lives in its environment and is clearly visible from June to September.

Nature there is increasingly reclaiming itself. 🌳🌸🌺🪻🪷🦅

The lake is now virtually closed off. The owner allows fishing upon request. It's still a very idyllic spot.

It looks like another world. Beautiful old walls with lots of moss and trees. Sometimes it's really difficult to ride a mountain bike.

Very beautiful scenery, but in places very narrow for mountain biking.
