What is Karst?<\/h3>\n

Karst is a form of limestone erosion that gives the landscape a rugged appearance. The name comes from the Kras region in Slovenia.
\nUnderground waters have dug into the rock, resulting in the formation of chasms<\/strong>. The losses of water from the Bandiat and Tardoire rivers feed the resurgence of the Touvre, near Angoul\u00eame.<\/p>\n

Karst curiosities to discover<\/h3>\n

In the Braconne forest, the most spectacular site is the Grande Fosse<\/strong>, classified in 1934, a vast funnel 250 metres in diameter and 55 metres deep! The Fosse Mobile<\/strong>, also classified in 1934, is the largest cavity in the karstic system, a labyrinth of over 8 kilometres!<\/p>\n

\u21d2 Other sites: the Fosse Limousine, the gouffre de Chez Roby in Bunzac, the Grottes du Qu\u00e9roy in Chazelles…<\/p>\n

Take the 11.5 kilometre circuit of the devil’s pits<\/strong> in the Braconne forest. These dangerous places have given rise to legends, making them very mysterious. So geological explanation or legends, the choice is yours!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
