From Estaing and its castle, which has belonged to the family of former French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing for almost 700 years, our path leads in the shade of oak forests first along the Lot and then up to an extensive plateau with a fantastic view.

Our hostel from the day before, the Gite d'Etape Quatre Vents, is at an altitude of 1150 m and represents the gateway to the huge raised moor plains of the AUBRAC. We hiked all day through this unique moor landscape, which is just as harsh, beautiful and is overwhelming like the Scottish Highlands. Swamp

The AUBRAC is about 20 km after LE-PUY-EN-VELAY. The AUBRAC is an approximately 150 km long low mountain range in the Massif Central, which rises up to 1340 m and has been severely worn down by erosion and the ice age.

After a super good night's sleep, we were woken up by a serenade from the AMORBACH STADTKAPELLE. In Franconia it is a good custom in many places on May 1st to get people in the mood for the month of May with a musical wake-up call.
After a breakfast that left nothing to be desired, we picked up our light
