Truc du Coucut

The Truc du Coucut rises to 1286 meters, featuring columnar basalt formations and offering views across the expansive Lozère department landscape.

The summit has long served as a navigation point for shepherds guiding their flocks through the region's network of ancient pastoral routes.

Local residents maintain traditional practices by organizing seasonal markets at the base, where regional products and crafts are displayed.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from Prinsuéjols village, with information panels explaining the geological features along the paths.

The low light pollution around the summit creates excellent conditions for astronomical observations throughout the year.
