Burgundy is famous for the excellence of its wines, its gastronomy and its many historical and religious monuments. But to go hiking? Few are those who think about it, rightly. The landscape is very varied, and we are often alone on the paths.
The Rother "Burgundy" Hiking guide focuses on the Morvan Natural Park. A pretty region with covered hills of forests, with a rich flora and fauna and many enchanting lakes. The highest summit is only 901 meters away, but it should not be underestimated. The rock formations of the Saussois and Bouillaland can even provide "alpine" sensations. In the North, there is also a landscape of hills with meadows, pastures and forests. To the west, the hikes cross the valleys of two rivers still saplateau de Saône and in the marshlands of the Bresse with its many ponds.
