Icon description route Description

Departure: Castle parking - Rue du Château 8, 5580 Rochefort

The castle from 1193 can still be visited. We trek through the fields towards the forest. Unfortunately, the forest paths are dead ends and large parts of the forest are privatized. Therefore, we stay on field roads. The fields are bordered by wide hawthorn hedges. They provide shelter for insects and bees, and many birds find refuge there.

Along the way, there is a monument in memory of a young man who was killed in the fields by a lightning strike in 1850.

After about 9 km, we reach the community of the Brotherhood of Tiberias. This Franciscan community consists of brothers and sisters who live together and strive for self-sufficiency through agriculture and livestock farming. A particularly worth visiting spot is the chapel, with its wood stove for heating and an altar in the shape of a ship's bow.

No catering. The paths can be muddy.
