Heritage orientation course - Brandes site
Using your map, discover the site of Brandes, the highest medieval village in Europe (1800m altitude) from the 12th to the 14th centuries and listed as a Historic Monument. You will also discover the fauna and flora of the mountain pastures.
On each beacon, a clip allows you to punch the box corresponding to the beacon number. Once you've found it, the information will tell you what makes this place special.
Happy discovering!
