- It is also a recognized hunting area, integrated into the larger Guirbaden forest complex, with good hunting potential and management.
The Forest
The property forms a compact entity of two close and complementary holdings. It is predominantly composed of mature conifer stands of very high quality. These are mainly located in the Bournique massif and consist of spruce, fir, and also pines.The Schwartzenberg massif, on the other hand, consists mainly of young conifer stands with a significant proportion of Douglas fir, which is by far the most productive species.
