This very wooded circuit is best explored on hot days when the Berbezit pond appears as a calm and refreshing oasis in front of the castle walls. The walk can also continue in the company of a donkey in Valentin.

Turn left and climb into the forest. Join a small road.
Continue opposite on the track in the Collat sectional forest. Follow left at the next fork.
Leave the wide track for a path on the right in the woods. Join a track and follow it straight on. At the crow's feet, at the fenced park, take the middle lane. Shortly after, you reach a path which you follow to the left, going slightly downhill.
At an opening, you come across a wide perpendicular path, continue straight on the path in the woods. Pass the water tower on the right and follow the field.
