The Trail of the Great Trees of Oltingue
The municipality of Oltingue, in partnership with the ONF, has set up a new 3 km walking trail allowing you to discover magnificent remarkable trees.
Starting from the parking lot of the St Brice chapel, this trail, straddling the Swiss and French territories, will allow you, among other things, to encounter a magnificent beech, the largest in the canton of Solothurn in Switzerland, but also a pedunculate oak, two large American Douglas firs, and two Scots pines. Possibility to dine on site at the St Brice inn.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
