La forêt de Montrichard... à VTT
This easy, looping circuit in a natural forest environment allows you to discover the beautiful Montrichard state-owned forest, which belongs to the State and is managed by the National Forestry Office. The forest is full of game: deer, wild boar, roe deer, badgers, foxes, martens, skunks, etc...
We will take care to park the car in the car park at the Patte d'Oie crossroads (on the D28) to go through this magnificent 1042 hectare forest which produces excellent wood for construction (from the logs) and heating (with the canopy). It is mainly oaks and pedunculate oaks but other species can be found as the biodiversity is important. The forest is 80 to 150 years old with a density of 50 to 80 trees per hectare. Some trees are marked at 1.20 m from the ground by a red circle: they will be felled, others by a white circle: they still have to grow. Some large oaks reach the respectable age of 500 to 800 years
Beautiful and wide paths criss-cross the forest, crossing at a large star-shaped crossroads: the Rond du Roy.
