Bois Brûlé.

In the Morvan, forests are the main players in the landscape. The first part of the route goes through a beautiful forest called Bois Brûlé. Every now and then you have a view of the beautiful surroundings. When you leave the forest you dive into the Gorges de la Canche via a beautiful and sometimes slippery path. Here it is pure enjoyment. Also regularly look back because you go downstream. Twice you cross the river, nowhere is it really dangerous but you have to remain alert. When you come out of the Gorges you pass a hydroelectric power station and dive into the forest again to get back to Le Grand Mizieux.
