The departure point is at Place de la Libération, opposite the church on Rue des 2 Fontaines. Car park and bus stop.
The hike is marked with a green disc.
(S/E) Leave the car park, go up Rue des 2 Fontaines on the left, then Rue Parallèle. At the junction with the D26, continue straight on the D42 to the cemetery.
(1) Turn left onto Rue du Cimetière, continue straight ahead on the farm track and walk for about 400 metres.
(2) Keep an eye out for the signpost indicating to turn right. Cross a narrow strip of meadow, turn left onto the path that leads into the woods.
It joins the farm track. Follow it to the left and enter the forest. At the next crossroads, turn left. The path alternates between heading south and west. The signposts are helpful.
(3) Just before you see the D36, take a sharp left turn. Pass a path on your right and then, at the next crossroads, you will find a forest path almost opposite that leads to Lebetain
(4) At the junction with the D26, turn right and follow it for a few dozen metres. At the memorial to the soldiers of the1st Army, turn right. A wide, straight lane, interrupted by a few dozen metres of road, leads to the junction with the D26.
(5) At the D26, turn left at the hairpin bend, follow the road for about 50 metres and then take the path downhill on the right. At the edge of the forest, walk along the meadow and, following the markings, find the place where the path turns right and leads down a steep slope to the edge of the Batte.
(6) Just after the bridge, turn right and walk up this second valley. The path turns left, leaving the stream, and enters the forest. I loved this little valley with its mini waterfalls on the stream.
(7) At the D50, cross the road and follow the farm track. It runs alongside the fields and follows the ridge line.
(8) Carefully descend the path that leads to the third valley. The descent is very steep. Take the forest path on the left at the bottom of the valley. 400 metres further on, turn right to join the forest road and turn right heading south.
(9) Follow the markings to find the path through the undergrowth a few hundred metres further on to the left, which leads to the Swiss border.
(10) Turn left and follow the border northwards. There are several border markers along this section. After about 600 metres, turn left. After a few hundred metres through the woods, the path opens out onto a wide farm track.
(11) At this point, you will find another trail marked with a red ring: the Fontaine de l'Adour walk. Beautiful view of Delle, Boncourt and the Vosges. At the next crossroads, continue straight ahead, then turn right and walk alongside the sports complex.
(12) The path arrives near a hedge. Turn left and descend towards the village, which you reach via Rue du Mont. Continue right along Rue du Coteau Français, cross the D50, then turn right into Rue des 2 Fontaines and return to the car park (S/E).
