The rather rolling singles are passable in gravel with a few exceptions due to the gravel and where it will be better to carry the bike for a few meters

Lake Salagou

Highlight • Lake

An essential place in Hérault for outdoor sports (mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, paddle, fishing, etc.).
Be careful in the middle of summer, prefer sporting activities early in the morning to avoid the high heat. Little shade all around the lake.

Salagou Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Salagou dam is relatively recent (construction and impoundment between 1964 and 1971) and it regulates the flow of the Salagou River and creates a reservoir for irrigation. As with all bodies of water, the tourist interest is not to be neglected.

September 28, 2023,Semaine 39 J3 Lac de Salagou

Day 3 in the Hérault.
Today's highlight: The Lac de Salagou!!!! A lake and a landscape like from another world. There are fantastic trails on the washed-out hills here. Similar to the Bardenas only in red-black and almost infinite. It was Christmas for trail lovers, but in between there were also technical descents and ascents. But always with a happy …

A lovely loop by Francis, slightly modified to make it a bit more challenging!
Even the descent to the wild boars seemed easy today!!
Done with Yves.
