The Circuit de la Fontaine Ferrugineuse is a 6.2-kilometer hiking trail through Saint-Herblon.
It leads through green paths, hilly landscapes, and preserved natural areas. Benches are available along the Circuit de la Fontaine Ferrugineuse for taking breaks.
The Fontaine ferrugineuse is an iron-rich mineral spring; its water is not drinkable.
The circular route to the Moulin de la Challoire passes through the Vallon de la Saugère and along a section of the stream via a charming sunken lane beside the rock.
