A circular route starting from Le Ruxelier, above Cheniménil. Much of it runs through mixed woodland (deciduous and coniferous), which is particularly enjoyable in warm weather and at autumn. The route passes through the Maquis du Haut du Bois, established on 24 July 1944; the poorly armed Resistance fighters were attacked by the German army on 9 September 1944. Ten Maquis fighters lost their lives, several were wounded, but the majority managed to escape to the nearby Massif du Fossard.

This route allows you to explore the village of Auberive and its abbey (open to visitors; check opening times and days). Most of the route is through forest and offers views of the tufa formations (information panel on site).
