Réserve Naturelle de la Tourbière des Dauges - CEN Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Classified as a nature reserve, the site offers the chance to walk among ashy heather, mountain arnica, sphagnum moss (a type of plant sponge that retains up to 30 times its own weight in water), absorbent cotton (white cottony balls) and drosera, a small carnivorous plant. Walkers can also observe the Dolomède, a spider that hunts on the surface of the water. Two trails (2 and 5 km) allow you to explore the site. The departmental application "Les illusions des Dauges" (Explor Games© to download beforehand) provides a fun way to learn about the management, fauna and flora of the peat bog. The CEN Nouvelle-Aquitaine organizes exhibitions and free outings during the summer.
