Hiking or cycling tour along the Rigole de l'Yonne

Die Rigole de l'Yonne (Wasserrinne der Yonne) spielt eine entscheidende Rolle in der Wasserversorgung des Canal de Nivernais. Sie führt vom Lac de Pannecière über eine Strecke von 25 km bis nach Port-Brûlé und versorgt den Canal de Nivernais stetig mit Wasser. Ursprünglich wurde dadurch die Flösserei ermöglicht, heute der Schiffsverkehr. Mit dem Velo oder zu Fuss kann man der Rigole der ganzen Strecke oder Teilen davon folgen. Die Rigole de l'Yonne führt auch nahe Epiry und dem Hotel Camping sur Yonne durch.
