Route through the Dives Marshes

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Dives marshes correspond to the entire wetland surrounding the Dives river. An association was formed to obtain environmental protection status to ensure harmonious development between human activities and nature. This cycle path crosses the marsh and thus offers the possibility of observing numerous birds such as storks and swans. To your binoculars!
