| A "real" hike and one that could have been spectacular (had it been sunny). Click the "Brooding Hen" (Poule Couveuse en francais) for pics; geotrack here. |
There are two hikes in this region and, as they join at one point, I did both of them thus making two 7 km hikes into a single 10 kmm hike with a good amount of elevation change. The views from the two peaks are spectacular, though less impressive against a cloudy sky. These hikes are above the town of Hienghene and the rock formations are known as the Sphynx and the Brooding Hen. The black limestone Roches de Linderalique are also fabulous - and I camped one evening near the base of the limestone rocks. Great hike.
