Hiking
The peat bogs on the Millevaches Plateau are unique, protected natural gems and home to exceptional biodiversity. Peat bogs are true natural sponges, play a vital role in regulating water balance and climate, and provide a refuge for numerous protected species. In this specific case, the Ruisseau du Pic has been able to expand in the depression below Augerolles, creating such a wetland before cascading down the valley.
The high content of dissolved organic matter provided by the bog can be seen in the reddish hue of the water in this area.
