difficult and dangerous path along the Moselle to avoid the path crossing the hunting area.

The route is well described and quite interesting, but there is too much walking on roads and tarmac. However, the end, with its view of Liverdun and its various castles, is magnificent and rewards your efforts.

I only did part of the hike from S/E to 6,7,8,9,10,11, avoiding the section in the forest. This way, the route stays sunny with a beautiful view of Château Corbin de Liverdun and the Moselle. Between 6 and 7, as has been pointed out, there is a slight difficulty with the shaded path, but it remains passable if you choose the upper part; there is only one tree trunk across the path, which is easy to pass under, and you quickly come out behind Château de Flie and the D90.

Hello
We completed this route on 9 April 2021 and I would like to provide some additional information following the comment made by Denis Tisse, who did this hike in March.
The path between points 6 and 7 has been cleared and can now be crossed without difficulty.
At that time, there were still some tree stumps on the ground, but they were off the path. We were able to use two stumps as stools for our picnic with a view of Liverdun Castle, which was PERFECT!
After point 6, the path is very narrow and quite steep, but it is equipped with a handrail. Take care if it has rained recently.
This hike is now completely passable.
It's a bit of a shame that there is so much tarmac, but the views are superb.
Best regards
Fanfan

WARNING:
The route is impassable between point No. 6 and point No. 7. The path along the Moselle is blocked by numerous trees, making it very difficult, if not impossible, to pass in certain places.
We took a detour via the D90, then via the Chemin de la Ferme du Vaurot (private property) and across fields (not to be done during hunting season...).
I think this situation is likely to continue, so I would advise against choosing this route, which may remain impassable for some time.

A very pleasant walk, the first part of which takes place in the forest, on soft, shaded paths, adding variety to the route. A walk entirely along the banks of the Moselle, which is very busy with cyclists, would be more monotonous.
However, the view from the river is magnificent, and we are delighted with this walk.

Today's hike took 2 hours and 10 minutes in bright sunshine.
The first part is rather disappointing. It is in the forest, but apart from a few short sections, the paths are rather rough (there is a large fallen tree in the middle of the path between points 4 and 5) and very narrow between two slopes. As a result, it's quite dark despite the bright sunshine, and you spend your time watching where you put your feet so you don't hurt yourself. And the section at point 6 is indeed very steep and narrow. Here again, it's best to watch where you walk.
The hike becomes very pleasant from the Aingeray dam onwards, and the return journey offers beautiful views of Liverdun and the Moselle. While the first part is disappointing, the second is very pleasant (but busier).

At level (6) "At the gate, turn right and continue straight ahead on this small path." This path is narrow and steep, and it should be noted that this passage can be tricky, especially in rainy weather.
