| KAKOUETA
- Like Holzarte, this is one of the most spectacular canyons of upper
Soule (there are 5 altogether) between Larrau
and Sainte-Engrâce,
dug out of the limestone bed-rock of the mountain by glacial meltwater.
Only between 3 and 10 m wide and up to 200 m deep. A footpath enables
you to visit the gorge as far as the Lake Grotto and (after an hour's
walk... with good shoes) a spectacular waterfall - the outlet of underground
streams collected over a vast area and which run through many caverns,
the most well-known being the abyss of La-Pierre-Saint-Martin. |
