Le Trail des Hobbits
Come challenge the mystical legend of the Hairy Feet on June 7th in the highlands of La Comté!
Just a stone's throw from the slag heaps, you'll discover the first hills of Artois. Nestled in the heart of lush countryside, this small village of La Comté (900 inhabitants) will offer you many surprises with its castles, its mill and its 15th-century church. Trails cross woods, undergrowth, fields, run alongside streams, stony paths and ridges... And of course, you'll have your share of elevation changes! From its height of 189 meters, the Mont de la Comté (famous for its paragliding spot) is already laughing at you when you wince! But what a reward afterwards, when you stop to admire these splendid landscapes and come across cows, rabbits, hares, pheasants and, for the luckiest, deer and roe deer!
The Hobbit Trail in The Shire is also an immersion in the legend of the famous "Lord of the Rings" by JRR Tolkien. Come challenge the Hobbits and their hairy feet, unhook your precious one at the finish line and enjoy a festive atmosphere with lots of entertainment!
