Departure from the car park of the refreshment bar, D613, south-west exit of the village What uses did the ancients make of stone? The Libre gorges are dug in limestone terrain. The abundant limestone was exploited to be transformed into quicklime. There are some old houses built with lime. With the exploitation of iron ore, the art of blacksmithing was developed at Félines Termenès for a long time. The old station at the exit of the village testifies to a dense network of railways in the XNUMXth century: the Compagnie des Tramways de l'Aude.

Be careful, the fire risk is often high, especially in summer, and can lead to flower bed closures. Find out before you go consulting the fire risk map for outdoor activities.
Fires strictly prohibited. Do not smoke and never throw cigarette butts in nature. Fires are numerous and catastrophic in our region. In the event of a fire or accident: give alert 18 or 112 from a cell phone.
Protect yourself from the sun and take enough water with you.
Avoid picking flowers and plants. Take all your trash. Close fences and keep dogs on a leash in pasture areas, villages and protected areas.

Mountain bike routes: the routes are often shared with hikers or other users (cars, tractors, etc.). Be careful and always anticipate that a pedestrian may be present around a bend to have time to brake if necessary. Pedestrians have priority in principle, slow down at crossings or stop if the configuration of the terrain requires you to do so.
Thank you and happy hiking!
