About This Trail

Imported description

The trails are clear, but not marked. They are very good with respect to the scenery. It is possible to make your hike as challenging as you want. The dunes are also crossed by the five paths that run parallel to the lake. It is possible to hike up and down a different section of the dunes if you take one to the lake and the other away from it. Take the trail running parallel to the lakeshore if you get tired. The trail is very good.
