Splendid weather, very quiet in the forests, didn't meet anyone.
I walk via Tour de Canot, follow a 'yellow' trail uphill and then this dirt-road, leaving it to find
|
|
Bm444
From this bm you can climb straight ahead (steeply) on a corridor in the forest to bm443.
Or (what I did): taking - a little higher - a forest-road to the left
which brings you to a tarmac road which brings you to bm443.

Bm443
Coordinates: N42 27 45.5 E1 51 34.8 H1715m
|
|
Bm443 with the straight corridor to bm444.
On my return I will descend through the corridor.
|
|
Where the tarmac road bends to the left, go straight ahead on the dirt-road to
Bm442
Coordinates N42 27 54.1 E1 51 12.2 H1739m
|
|
Later on, I leave the dirt-road and find
bm441, looking quite new
Coordinates: N42 28 05.8 E1 50 51.0 H1732m
Just beyond this bm, I cross
|
|
a tiny stream and traverse N a fenced meadow up to a hill, about 100m to
bm440
Coordinates N42 28 09.9 E1 50 50.7 H1758
Then in between rocks in NNW-direction on a sort of trail which becomes a better trail later on.
|
|
Bm439III, inconspiciously on a small hill along the trail.
Coordinates: N42 28 13.0 E1 50 47.9 H1756m
|
|
Bm439II
Coordinates: N42 28 21.2 E1 50 46.1 H1796
The trail becomes more vague, then more of a stream until
|
|
Bm439I
Coordinates: N42 28 27.6 E1 50 39.5 H1804
The trail is still easy to follow, now with a rocky surface and brings me to
|
| bm439, on a nice spot where two streams merge.
Coordinates: N42 28 35.2 E1 50 38.2 H1793m
Navigating now becomes less straigtforward. If you continue NW,
you'll reach a dirt-road which brings you with a bend back at the
border. Or ignore the bend and go straight NW and reach the road again. |
| Bm438
Coordinates: N42 28 45.6 E1 50 19.5 H1899m
It's located about 30m S of the dirt-road / trail with the cross facing SE.
Note: my Pda/gps locates the borderline more to the east with another distinct triangular rock where one would expect bm438.
From here the borderline climbs steeply through the broom but looking manageable.
I return, it's 1pm, taking a break at bm439.
