Lake and river: The Buëch River
A tributary of the Durance, the Buëch Riover is a peaceful river that irrigates many apple fields  and other orchards along its course. Taking its source in Lus-la-Croix-Haute, the stream stretches for 85 kilometers and drops to an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters.

Summit: La Petite Gineste
La Gineste and la Petite Gineste are two small peaks overlooking the historic village of Serres. Although low in altitude, the summit of Petite Gineste allows you to see, here and there, the entire  Serres-valley.

Lake and river: Germanette lake and leisure center
The Germanette lake offers a nice refreshing stop. Composed of three natural pools (for swimming, water and fishing activities) is an ideal relaxing place. Swimming is supervised from July 1st to August 31st. A beach bar is open during the summer season and a restaurant all year round.

[Trek] Les voies de nos Ancêtres
This route, with minimal elevation gain, follows the Buëch River and takes you along the paths of our ancestors to explore Les Ginestres (a place where broom once grew, and where evidence of a sustained settlement by Homo faber has been found: earthenware pots, bronze razors, engraved bracelets, urns, and more).
The route features a series of short ascents and descents on varied terrain leading to the Germanette recreation center. Return to Serres via a trail along the Buëch River. On the way back, it’s worth taking a stroll through the narrow streets of the old town.Modified: 6 weeks ago
