Description of the walk

(S/E) Departure from the car park of the church in Goux-les-Dambelin.
Go down Rue de l'Église to reach Rue des Fontaines or the D227. Leave this road on the left onto Rue des Acacias, then take the road that leads to the Esnans farms.

(1) Turn left and continue straight ahead (La Foigerotte, Les Combottes) to join the^{GR® trail} of the Pays de Montbéliard (yellow and red rectangle) and the Pont de Roide hiking club trail markers (blue and yellow rectangle).

(2) Turn right onto the^GR®, and head towards the Malbarey and Le Creux farms.

(3) Leave the^GR®, follow the Pont de Roide club markings, follow the road and leave the markings on your left to return towards the village of Goux-les-Dambelin.
Leave a path on your right, then at the next intersection take the left path to join the D227 road.

(4) Turn right onto the road (about 500m) then left just after the high-voltage power line. Continue straight ahead to reach an intersection, then turn right to reach a reservoir, then continue straight ahead to reach the path that descends from Goux-les-Dambelin to Hyémondans (option to return to the car park).

(5) Pass a second reservoir on your right and take the path opposite.
Go straight ahead, then turn right at point 566 and turn left 500 metres further on. Turn left twice to reach the edge of the forest. Keep to the right, turn left just after passing through the copse and enter the forest to join the blue and yellow marked route (over hill and dale) for the Isles sur le Doubs hike.
Turn right and follow the markings (path through the rocks) to pass the Châtelard rock (in spring there are a few daffodils), continue to follow the markings until you reach a large intersection. Leave the markings and descend to the right to reach the marker and point 567, then go straight ahead and turn left to reach Rue du Stade.
Go straight down to cross Rue des Tilleuls, then go down a few steps to reach the car park.

A very beautiful hike! We really enjoyed the end with the viewpoint and the short stretch through the forest. Completed in 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Beautiful hike with a lovely viewpoint dotted with daffodils, but not too many markers, so you need to read the description carefully.

I connected two routes
this one and the Chatelard rock
Apart from a few large branches, it was a lovely walk with beautiful views.

An easy and pleasant route, but a bit too much tarmac compared to the paths. No signposting at the start, so you need to refer to the map.

Beautiful panorama with lovely daffodils, but the route wasn't very well marked for the first circular. We ended up in Mauchamps, where a local resident (a hiker) showed us the way back onto the route. Thank you to that person! The second circular was clearly marked with no problems.

Pleasant route, little shade (best avoided in hot weather), beautiful views of the wind turbines and the Montbéliard countryside, as well as the Ballon d'Alsace (in good weather, of course).
The description is average, so it's best to use the map to find your way, as there are a few tricky intersections in the fields. The area is dotted with daffodils in season (near the viewing rock, which is not equipped, so watch out for children).

My apologies for this inaccuracy, the error is mine. There are many paths in this area and I took the wrong one. You need to follow the edge of the forest and find the path that joins the Gr du Pays de Montbéliard.
As for the paths overgrown by agriculture, with a GPS anything is possible, but the tracks are becoming less and less marked and it is quite difficult to reach the blue and yellow marked trail (over hill and dale) of the Iles sur le Doubs hike.

Thank you, VALARI
When you say:

As for the rest, there is a small error regarding the wood of Les Combottes

What do you mean by mistake?
Also, can we still use the paths that are overgrown with vegetation?

Hello,
I did this hike today and I must point out that without GPS tracking, it's difficult not to get lost. It's a beautiful hike, but at this time of year, some crops have spilled over onto the paths, which is the case before and after La Roche du Chatelard. Otherwise, there was a small error in the Bois des Combottes, but it didn't matter as the map is quite clear. A hike with no elevation gain and very airy. Thank you to the author.

Sorry for this bad experience. I think you shouldn't have left the GR, and as a result you followed it all the way to Remondans...
I've just added some waypoints to break up the description and highlight the important points... There may be a few additions to make to this description, which is starting to get a bit old. If you go back there, please feel free to send us some more feedback.
Best regards

The hiking route and the ease of the trail led us to believe that we were going to have a great time! Unfortunately, that wasn't really the case. We found that the route descriptions were poorly defined. It was very difficult to find our way along the trail. We still don't know where we went wrong, but we ended up on the D273 in Remondans, which was very far from the original route! As a result, we had to walk along the side of a very dangerous road and ended up walking 20 to 25 km instead of the 11 km we had planned!
