Around Waterfalls, Landes and Peatlands (Creuse)

In the heart of the Millevaches Plateau, the Creuse unfolds a wild and humid landscape, dominated by a rich mosaic of ecosystems: waterfalls, heathlands, and peat bogs. This territory is the source of numerous rivers. The peat bogs (waterlogged environments) are the jewels of this natural heritage. They serve as fragile plant archives, rich in sphagnum moss and home to unique species, including sundew (a carnivorous plant). The wet heaths contrast with the coniferous forests, while multiple waterfalls (such as those of Rozeille) animate the landscape with their murmurs. This region offers raw nature, ideal for hiking in search of tranquility and discovering specialized biodiversity.
