Take a walk around the paths of the ponds of Guizengeard and Touvérac and get ready to have your breath taken away! These landscapes are not the result of a long process initiated by nature. They have actually been shaped by the hand of man.
These watering holes were once clay quarries (kaolin to be exact). Over time, the extraction of these deposits was reduced and nature took over. In contact with certain geological layers, the water has become acidic and nothing develops there. This is what gives it its special colour.
There are many paths and beautiful landscapes on this stretch. Hikers and nature lovers will be delighted!
Here are a few tips for walking the marked trails.
- Please respect these unspoilt areas, as many species of migratory birds nest here.
- Do not leave the marked paths.
- Keep a low profile as you pass.
