The nature of La Crégut
Trémouille
Opening period
All year round.
Description
Lac de la Crégut is the largest natural glacial lake in the Massif Central, covering almost 37 hectares.
Kesako : Glaciers have great abrasive power, eating away at even the most supple rock to create overburden. The passage of the Artense glacier 13,500 years ago left a basin that was filled by runoff from several streams and the sub-lacustrine springs of La Crégut.
Its depth (two pits of 16 m and 26 m) and the fact that its natural water supply is low in nutrients, have prevented it from becoming a peat bog.
Swimming is forbidden, but you can walk around, fish or picnic around the lake. → PR 2: Water story ←
