Bourgogne (Lac Des Settons) (G)
2 years ago
Starts near Les Settons, FRMORE ROUTES NEAR HERE
Located in the heart of the Morvan park, at an altitude of 590 meters, the Lac des Settons (or "chettons" in Morvaudiaux) is, like all the lakes of the Morvan, an artificial lake. Built between 1850 and 1858, south of Montsauche-les-Settons, it facilitated the floating of timber from Morvan forests to Paris.
Fed by the waters of the Cure, the Lac des Settons is also a work in its own right. Its 20m high and 267m long dam made of granite blocks from the Morvan has been classified as French heritage since 1937. Its guard house built on the hillside, where the engineers lived during the construction of the dam, is listed as a historical monument since 1944.
About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
