August 11, 2022,Col de Bavella – Trou de la Bombe - Runde von Village de Bavella

Very nice circular hike to the Trou de la Bombe, the spectacular, heart-shaped rock hole in Corsica.

Nice little hike, also suitable for children from about 5 years.
Partly a bit rocky and provided that you are sure-footed, but can be done comfortably in sports shoes.

Nice relaxed hike from the pass to the bomb hole. Also ideal with a dog. The round is easy to walk, the climb to the hole is a little more strenuous. Surefootedness should be present.
