A walk that takes you on a journey through time, from the caves and wild landscapes of the Neanderthal era to the wind turbines of modern man.

Set off on a lovely circular walk through woods and fields, offering superb panoramic views. Accessible on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback, this walk with gentle gradients is suitable for everyone. The route begins at the Cognières viaduct, before passing through Bouhans, its woods and vast fields. You’ll then reach the Dampierre Forest, leading to the village of Trevey, where the pond is a lovely spot for a break. The return route takes you past the Cognières memorial stone, on the edge of the forest and fields, providing a lovely end to the walk. A varied walk, perfect for enjoying nature and recharging your batteries.

A beautiful loop starting from the town hall in Cognières, combining nature, heritage and tranquillity.

Set off to discover the legend of the Virgin of Mont Gédry and the statue of Notre-Dame. According to legend, the summit of the hill was crowned by a beautiful, gentle clearing of wild grasses. There stood a mysterious pink sandstone rock: La Tounôle. The hill offers a magnificent view of the first foothills of the Vosges Mountains.

If, like me, you enjoy recharging your batteries in peaceful spots whilst discovering various mysterious places, this route is perfect for you.

As part of its nature education programme, the Haute-Saône Hunting Federation has created an educational trail about wildlife and its habitats. In the heart of nature, you will find fun, interactive information points and display boards presenting the animals that live in the areas you pass through. The trail also passes through a remarkable area classified as a Natura 2000 site, notably for its dry grassland habitat and its discreet orchids.

You will walk in the footsteps of Xavier Bourqueney, the Lomont hunter who survived the ferocious charge of a wounded boar and, in gratitude for his life being spared, built the Sainte-Anne Chapel, which overlooks Crosey-le-Grand and the Comté countryside, which has probably hardly changed since the end of the 17th century. Then, in two strides, you will find yourself in the midst of modernity, at the foot of impressive wind turbines. A sunny country walk.

This country walk starts in Lanthenans, a small village in the Comté region hidden away in the countryside, and takes you over hills and through valleys to the Roche du Châtelard viewpoint overlooking Lomont and the Doubs valley. The return route takes you through airy woods, which Marcel Aymé might have described as "the forest is still a little bit of paradise lost. God did not want the first garden to be wiped out by the first sin."

Wandering along the banks of the Colombine is the very charm of this country path.
