About
Trail Mountain bike of 11.3 km to be discovered at Grand Est, Ardennes, Les Mazures. This trail is proposed by tracegps.
Description
A Travers les bois domaniaux, le circuit emprunte un chemin en corniche qui surplombe la vallée de la Faux et les Roches de l’Empereur. Admirer les vues sur le bassin de Witacker, confluent des Vallées de la Faux et de la Misère. Par moment, l’impression d’être en montagne est saisissante. La Faux, aux allures de petit torrent, traîne un important réseau de marais issu d’un effondrement tectonique de cette partie du plateau ardennais où se niche aujourd’hui le Lac des Vieilles Forges. Dès le 16ème siècle, cette rivière fut aménagée d’une succession de retenues pour actionner les laborieux moulins de forge. C’est à partir de 1927 qu’elles furent transformées en lacs réservoirs pour la production d’électricité, formant aujourd’hui le plus grand complexe hydroélectrique à puissance instantanée de France Départ : Les Mazures (Balodrome – terrain de sport)
