Itinerary description
En surplomb de la vallée du Gabas, l' itinéraire longe le coteau de Pimbo vers l'est puis descend en direction de la vallée. Les coteaux du Tursan sont nés au Miocène (-23 à -6 millions d'années) et comportent des dépôts de molasses carbonatées issus de l'érosion pyrénéenne. Le marcheur découvrira l' Espace Naturel Sensible du Coteau du Moulin. Au printemps il pourra observer de nombreuses espèces animales et végétales dont de magnifiques papillons: Damier de la Succise, Azuré du Serpolet, Cuivré des marais. Après une courte incursion dans le département des Pyrénées-Atlantiques, le visiteur remonte vers le village en traversant une seconde fois le Gabas.
Overlooking the Gabas valley, the route runs east along the hillside of Pimbo, then down the valley. The hillsides of Tursan were born in the Miocene (-23 to -6,000,000 years) and have carbonated molasses deposits from the Pyrenean erosion. The walker discovers the Sensitive Natural Area of Coteau du Moulin. In the spring he will observe many animal and plant species, especially beautiful butterflies: Marsh fritillary, Large blue, Large copper. After a brief foray into the Pyrenees-Atlantiques district, the visitor goes back to the village by crossing a second time the Gabas river.
