Choloy-Ménillot walks

A circular route starting with a fairly long climb through meadows, orchards and woodland towards the summit of the Domgermain Plateau. Cross its meadow, a Natura 2000 ecological site, along a hillside path where you will see the remains of fortifications dating from 1876, then descend towards the Val de Passey with a detour to the hamlet of Les Sept Sources (where you can quench your thirst with spring water from the forest) and its ponds.

This hike is located near the Côtes de Toul vineyards. You will discover the old Fort de Charmes-la-Côte and many vestiges of the past. Pretty tags created by a local graphic designer add to the charm of this hike. The paths and trails are easy to follow and present no danger. However, do not stray from the paths, as there are still many hazards in the undergrowth linked to the activity of the forts. Keep an eye on children and keep dogs on a leash.
