Okabe
Loop, Walking
Starting from the plateau of Iraty Cize, this itinerary takes the hiker to discover part of the beautiful Iraty forest. After an ascent in a forest atmosphere, the summit of Okabe reveals a clear view on a very large part of the Basque Country and the Bearn mountains. It will be possible to discover its necropolis of numerous cromlechs, witnesses of the ancient occupation of the Basque mountains. The second part of the loop continues in a wild undergrowth of beech trees before passing near the peat bogs of the Zurzai pass. A long and peaceful forest crossing finally leads back to the Cize plateau where flocks of sheep, cows and horses graze. Here you can also have a drink in Etxola, where a visit to an exhibition is a must.
