Park in the car park in the fields along the path leading to the Belle Émilia farm, towards a large stone trough in Saint-Jean-de-Bœuf.
(S/E) Turn left onto the track known as the Champs du Tilleul until you reach the crossroads before the Belle Émilia farm.
(1) Turn left onto the Chemin du Creux des Chaumes, which passes in front of the farm and heads straight into the woods. When you reach a Fork in the road, turn right and enter the former site of the German camp, where you will already see some remains: a radar base, etc. At the next crossroads, turn right and continue straight on until you reach further remains (concrete garage slabs).
(2) Continue along the main path which crosses the site. Before the block of toilet facilities – a raised, concrete esplanade – turn right onto a narrow track, guided on the left by a low stone wall. The wall breaks off and then resumes: look out for green arrows on trees pointing in the direction of travel. You’ll emerge into a large clearing.
(3) Take the grassy path to the right, leaving the footpath that continues straight ahead into the woods. Cross the clearing diagonally along this path until you reach a track suitable for vehicles.
(4) Turn left onto it, taking the hairpin bend, and head down into the woods. At the bottom of the descent, you’ll reach a three-way junction.
(5) Stay on the main track, which curves to the left, until you reach a wide crossroads of tracks. A hunting lodge is visible on the left-hand side of the crossroads.
(6) Continue along the path opposite at the bottom of the descent until you reach a junction with a wide track.
(7) Turn right and carry on until you reach the junction for the Grotte de Roche Chèvre. Turn left to reach the cave.
(8) Return to the white path, turn left and continue through the woods. Then veer right downhill (orange arrows on a tree), cross a path and climb slightly to reach a track marked by boundary stones.
(9) Take this path to the left and follow it until you reach a 90° right-hand bend, leading onto a forest track.
(10) Carry on almost straight ahead, slightly to the right, and after joining a wider track at a place called Le Bas de Chaux, you’ll reach another junction about a hundred metres further on.
(11) Turn right and head towards the hunting lodge, where you’ll find a Y-junction. Turn left to make your way back at a leisurely pace to the car park at the watering hole (S/E).
