Description
A magnificent discovery of Lake Annecy's nature reserve, a preserved wetland, via a path accessible to all. Several educational stations offer a fun and original way to discover this environment.
The Bout du Lac nature reserve is a wetland crossed by two rivers, the Eau Morte and the Ire, which feed Lake Annecy.
This marshy area to the south of the lake is an exceptional habitat. Wet forests, reed beds, wet meadows and alkaline peat bogs form a veritable ecosystem.
The rich biodiversity of this natural area is home to a large number of common, rare and sensitive plant and animal species.
The educational trail illustrates various aspects of the history of the nature reserve.
The Beauvivier medieval tower, threatened with collapse, has been restored and transformed into an observatory. Since May 2010, the Bout du Lac nature reserve has been accessible to the disabled thanks to a 1.6 km pathway running through part of the site.
