Description

A quite shady hiking to make you discover Avens’ surprising intertwining of limestones faults.
>>>> RECOMMANDATIONS Be careful ! There are crackings on either sides near the Avens. WARNING : On this route, you may encounter livestock guard dogs protecting herds from wolf attacks. It is strongly discouraged to bring a pet dog, even if it is on a leash. If you encounter a herd, stay calm: stop, let the guard dogs get a good look at you, then give the herd a wide berth without making any sudden movements. → To learn the proper precautions to take when encountering guard dogs, visit: https://rando.sisteron-alpesprovencales.fr/information/14-Les-patous-et-nous-!
