Highlight • Natural Monument

Former limestone quarry now transformed into a protected natural area with a pond in the northern part and a wetland in the southern part. Important birdlife.
The paths and trails are well maintained, mainly for mountain biking and gravel.

Highlight • Trail

Can be combined with the Bréva Trail to the west and the Rébris Trail and the Moulin Châtelier Trail to the east.
