Parking spaces and bus stop (Optymo lines 23 - 32- 51) at 30 Rue d'Alsace, 90150 Lacollonge.
The circuit is marked by a Green Ring.
(S/E) Continue along Rue d'Alsace eastwards towards Fontaine. After 50 metres, turn right (due south) onto Rue du Fahy. At the end of the street, turn right. Walk along the edge of the forest. Before entering the forest, don't forget to look back at the landscape. There is a superb view of Le Salbert, La Planche des Belles Filles and almost all the peaks of the Southern Vosges. Enter the forest for 100 metres.
(1) Turn left. After 800 metres, just as you leave the forest, turn left. Walk along the cultivated fields, staying at the edge of the forest. You will reach the D22.
(2) Turn left and 100 m further on, cross the road and take the gravel path on the right. The Anneau Vert markings are helpful. After 100 m, turn left into "le Petit Bois". The path zigzags a few times before reaching the D31.
(3) Follow it to the right towards the north. After 100 metres, continue straight ahead on the path and pass over the A36 motorway. Continue on the same path that runs alongside La Madeleine. Arrive at Bethonvilliers.
(4) Turn left onto the D25, taking a moment to admire the pretty covered bridge. Shortly afterwards, you will see the leat on your left. Continue on the D25 for 300 metres after the leat, just after the Ruisseau des Perches.
(5) Take a path on the left. At the edge of the woods, you will see the Ancien Moulin Notre-Dame behind the pasture. It is fed by the leat of the mill we saw earlier. The path curves westwards and crosses a small stream via a footbridge. Turn left just after the footbridge. The path leads to the D22.
(6) Turn left towards the east, pass under the A36 motorway and arrive at Lacollonge via Rue des Vosges. Follow this road to the next crossroads.
(7) Turn left onto Rue d'Alsace, which will take you back to the starting point (S/E).
. We will try again in spring or autumn.
