You may be surprised by the siren that, according to legend, haunts the ponds along this route. A superb hike 15 km from Belfort and 10 km from Héricourt. You will also discover a pretty village with its church and temple, beautiful countryside and forest landscapes with numerous ponds. Along the route, information boards describe part of the history of this region and the legend of the mermaid.

This hike begins on the western flank of Mont Jean, through a forest interspersed with clearings offering magnificent views of the Savoureuse valley and the surrounding peaks. It reaches its peak at the Col du Chantoiseau, a haven of peace at the crossroads, at the foot of the Tremontkopf, which offers a view of the Riervescemont valley and its hills.

This is a pleasant hike, starting with a slight descent into the woods, with almost the entire climb being open.

An easy route that runs alongside numerous ponds. Very pleasant in the October sunshine, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful colours of our forests as they turn golden and purple. Please note, however, that there is a short section on the road (with little traffic).

Route slightly modified, description revised and corrected. This is a lovely, easy route that allows you to admire around sixty ponds. Information boards help you discover and understand how these ponds were formed and are used. Much of the route is on small paved roads. This route is partly based on signposts in the field, so be sure to follow the description carefully.

A variety of trails, some of which run through the woods, and forest paths will take you from the picturesque village of Beulotte-Saint-Laurent to the Plateau des Grilloux, passing through the hamlet of La Grande Rocholle.

On the way back via the long circuit, you will discover the remains of the old Moulin du Hanneau mill and take the small road that runs alongside the Ruisseau du Beuletin stream to return to the village.

Enjoy the hike! It's not very long, but there's quite a bit of elevation gain. The first part is quite steep, but the trails are pleasant

Belle randonnée en montagne entre forêts et chaumes d'altitude.

Starting at the Étang Noir and its lookout point, the trail leads from pond to pond, skirting a peat bog and crossing a pond on a wooden bridge leading to a chalet, making for a shady and very easy walk. As a bonus, there are lovely views of the Vosges mountains and the Thillot valley.

Follow the banks of the Doller and then the Wagenstall waterfalls to reach the peaceful thatched cottages of the narrow Grand Langenberg valley near an authentic farmhouse inn. Descend to the foot of the Ballon d'Alsace towards the impressive glacial basin of Lake Alfeld, which dominates the Doller Valley. Finally, return along the tumultuous Seebach, which calms down in a wet and marshy meadow before dying in the peat bogs of Lake Sewen. Please note that theGR®531is sometimes obstructed (forestry work, overgrown vegetation, fallen trees, etc.) and maintenance is sometimes delayed. In this case, take the Fennematt path that runs along the left bank of the Doller and rejoin the route at point (1) or point (3).

A peaceful hike that will take you to Sewen Lake and its peat bogs, then to Alfeld Lake, which is very different with its dam. The path is flat until you reach the foot of the dam, then climbs a little.
