Boucle équestre N°1 – Forêt de la Coubre
The paths taken by this central loop are dedicated to riders and allow you to practice horseback riding in complete safety in the flamboyant and remarkable setting of the Coubre Forest.
Between the Atlantic forest and the beaches of the wild coast, this loop ride offers total immersion in the maritime atmospheres of the Arvert peninsula. The sandy soils, passable all year round, offer optimal conditions for uphill hiking. Horse-riding stops equipped with attachment bars are available at the starting point (parking along the RD 25 at the southern exit of Ronce-les-Bains).
The circuit is signposted to equestrian standards, the markup marks affixed to the paint on the trees are specific to horseback riding (orange color). They indicate the directions to follow or to avoid (cross), the horizontal line is a staking mark giving the route to follow. Marking is done in both directions. At the start of the circuits and when crossing large trenches, a green and white sign representing a "foot in the stirrup" indicates more visibly the direction to take.
Riders and hikers take care to adopt a behavior that respects nature, existing equipment and other users, in accordance with the charter for walkers in the forest. Courtesy is a guarantee of successful cohabitation and better security.
So practitioners:
- follow the marked paths that make up the itinerary
- respect forest property (fauna, flora, dune and soil included)
- do not smoke in the forest
- leave no waste on the sites
