Parking is available next to the town hall; there are often a few spaces free.
(S/E) Leave the car park heading east. The Malakoff Tower is immediately visible. Turn right, cross the level crossing and head towards the road.
(1) Cross the county road. The path is on the left, hidden by vegetation, just before the gate to a private property. Walk uphill until you reach the tower and the chapel. Continue along the only possible path, in the same direction as when you set off.
(2) Carry on along the forest track, keeping to the right.
(3) After just under 500 m, take the path on the left which leads downhill.
(4) At the bottom of the valley, 1 km further on, follow the path that opens up to the right. (A sign nearby indicates the presence of CCTV cameras.) A few hundred metres after the end of the second climb, the route joins a forest track.
(5) Turn left. 300 m further on, take the path leading down to the left
(6) At the end of the path, keep to the left and wind your way through the narrow, steep-sided valley.
(7) Turn left again when the opportunity arises.
(8) A few metres from the main road, take the path on the left which leads back into the forest. 100 metres further on, turn onto the small path on the right. This spot offers a view of the river, with the village of Sermizelles in the distance.
(9) After 1 km, including a climb of over 200 m, take a path that opens up on the right. An old stone wall (covered in moss) marks its location.
(10) At the end of the path, turn right.
(11) Once back on a track suitable for vehicles, turn left to walk alongside the fields and back into the forest. After one kilometre, the track splits in two. Take the track on the right to quickly return to the forest road taken at the start of the walk.
(2) Follow the outward route in the opposite direction to return to the car park (S/E).
