We know that, with movement restrictions, the most important thing is that your outings are made safely and trying to avoid social contact as much as possible.
But this does not prevent you from enjoying some routes that hide legendary stories, full of mysteries, so you can test your courage. Our 5 recommendations are the follow ones:
France. The route of the werewolf. Trekking and prehistory in Périgord Noir
Legend has it that werewolves inhabited the area many years ago. This limestone plateau, lined at the West by the Vezere Valley and at the South by the Dordogne Valley, is covered by forests of chestnut trees, pines and Holm oaks, which give it a dark color and its name: Black Perigord. History tells us that life has always been pleasant along the banks of these two rivers and in the valleys sheltering magnificent old villages, which have kept their uniqueness throughout time
