Tips from the Community
North of Treffendel, Etunel pond is a large body of water appreciated by locals and tourists alike. On the sometimes tight tracks that border its shore, be vigilant when cyclists are busy mountain biking. During capricious weather, a small wooden cabin built at the eastern end of the pond provides rest.

The Menilou mill is an opulent construction erected on the gentle waves of the Serein. During the last century, the river was used as a driving force to grind the grains harvested nearby.

In this small valley where the colors change with the seasons, the calm flow of the Serein brings a certain sweetness to your walk.
