Phalempin State Forest Ponds

Highlight • Lake

A small national forest but rich in fauna and flora. You can walk there on well-developed paths and enjoy the many small ponds that dot the forest.

In the Phalempin forest, the route is very pleasant for cycling in dry weather. In wet weather, it is better to go around unless you are on a gravel bike; if it is very muddy, a mountain bike is recommended.

A very beautiful, optimized course that makes the most of the superb Phalempin forest, with a maximum of single tracks, winding along the edges. I had put aside the edge on the east side for 2 years, then invaded by vegetation, now it's fine. Some passages are technical and allow you to work on your riding.

An optimized loop that runs through the entire Forest, avoiding certain impassable paths.

30km of blissful hiking in the forest, ideal conditions with dry ground and a windy day. Parking is available in the forest at the ponds car park, but I prefer the extras of the return to the station.
