GR41© “Cher Valley”
The Cher, one of the largest tributaries of the Loire, has its source in Creuse at Mérinchal. It is therefore quite natural that the GR41® “Cher Valley”crosses part of the department. After two years of work, the French Federation of Hiking Creuse invites you to discover this freshly marked route during a day dedicated to hiking in roaming.
The volunteers of the federation offer to accompany you on different distances:
- Itinerance Auzances- Mérinchal 22 km: departure 10:00 Auzances place de l’église / free shuttle from Mérinchal at 8:30 place de l’église.
- Itinerancy Solignat- Mérinchal 12 km : departure from Solignat at 2:00 pm / free shuttle from Mérinchal at 1:30 pm Mérinchal church square.
- Told walk 6 km : departure 2:30 pm in Mérinchal place de l’église
The idea being to converge hikers to the town of Mérinchal around 4:00 pm / 4:30 pm, the arrival point of these routes is more precisely the Calvary Chapel at the foot of which will be held the official inauguration of this hiking trail and a wine of honor.
The event is open to all free of charge, registration is required via this LIEN
