Departure from the square in Faux-la-Montagne, opposite the 12th-century church, with a covered wash house on the right below.
(S/E) Follow the Route de Gentioux (D992) for 300 metres to the fountain at the edge of the village.
(1) Take the "Chemin de la Fontaine-Pouilleuse" to the left of the fountain, ignore the path going up to the left and continue to the Traluamont crossroads near Lac de Faux. Car park and picnic area
(2) Turn left onto the path that runs alongside the lake through a deciduous forest. After about 700 metres, turn left onto the path that leads away from the lake and joins a crossroads.
(3) Descend to the right along the path, then turn right again to reach a clearing with lots of broom and return to the lake shore.
(4) At the intersection, descend to the right behind the Dorat dam. This multi-arch dam is a rare type in France. Go back up and continue to the right on the path along the lake to a path in the undergrowth. Take it to the right.
(5) Cross the bridge over the Maulde and you will reach a crossroads. Continue straight ahead until you reach another intersection.
(6) Take the path on the right that descends through the woods towards the lake. Follow it until you reach the D992.
(7) Follow the D992 to the right (towards Faux-la-Montagne), cross the dyke (viewpoint on both sides) and turn right just after it to rejoin the path you took on the way out.
(2) Turn left and follow the outward route to Place de Faux-la-Montagne, opposite the church (S/E).
