--> Immouzzer des Ida Outanane (approx. 62 km of Agadir; 12 km of direction Tamri/Essaouira, junction shortly before Tamrhakht, then approx. 50 km on a passable asphalt road to up to Immouzzer). Immouzer des Ida Ouatane is a very idyllic little place in the valley of the Ida Ouatane. The Berbers living here like to sell petrified Fossils. Already the journey to the place located 1160 m high is scenically extremely rewarding. They reach Immouzer over the valley of the Asif Tamrhakht which is not so unusual to beginning. But then, scenically overwhelmingly all honour makes to its name. The street winds by a ravine cut deeply, lined palm with Argan, banana and olive trees.

Schon die Anfahrt
zu dem 1160 m hoch gelegenen Ort ist landschaftlich überaus lohnend. Mann erreicht Immouzer über das Tal des Asif Tamrhakht das "Paradise Valley", das zu Anfang nicht so aussergewöhnlich ist, aber dann landschaftlich überwältigend, seinem Namen alle Ehre macht.
Die Strasse windet sich durch eine tief eingeschnittene, palmengesäumte Schlucht mit Arganien, Bananenstauden und Olivenbäumen.

--> Les Cascades
It walks for 4 km to the famous Cascades in a narrow street from the place centre. The waterfall down the fern overgrown limestone wall rushing at several natural rock basins is, however, really impressive only in spring. It flows into a lake which is small and lined by ferns.

--> Sidi Rbat
(45 km of direction Tiznit in Tiferhal junction of a relatively bad piste to Sidi Rbat; access shut about Massa because of nature reserve).

--> Tiznit (90 km south of Agadir).
Oasis settlement with typical town formation for a Sahara edge settlement. These reward Souks in which beautiful silver jewelry work is offered for a visit. Market day is Thursday.

--> Taroudannt (81 km eastern of Agadir).
Also called "small Marrakech". A beautiful traditional town with its old pewter wall. You rent a horse coach for 8 euros there best. One goes astray in the centuries-old labyrinth.

--> Tafraoute (approximately 170 km southeast of Agadir).
Numerous loft castles and Ksour as well as wonderful landscape panoramas can be seen on the way. An excursion can be recommended to the valley of the Ammeln. The little oasis town is 1000 m over the sea-level in the slopes of the western anti atlas. Bizarre, depending on solar radiation pink granite rocks -- famous the chapeau de Napoléon 2 km southern -- surround Tafraoute.

The place is noted for the almond flower in February. Good starting point for walks and mountain climbs. Wednesday is market day.

--> Valley of the Ammeln (birds).
(7 km northeastern of Tafraoute (170 km of Agadir), intersection direction Taguenza).

--> Goulmime (also Goulimine, about 200 km southwest of Agadir).
The journey over Toznit runs by the Sous-level and by the scenically impressive ones foothills of the antiatlas which gradually change into stone and rubble desert.

So a beautiful country!
