This hike is the first of two stages linking the end of the Vosges crossing in Belfort to the start of the Grande Traversée du Jura (or GTJ on maps), located at the start of Mandeure. This hike is very cultural, starting in the historic town of Belfort. The first part takes you past three forts: Belfort, Basses Perches and Bosmont. The hike is never very far from urban areas and it is even possible to get there by TGV as the high-speed train passes through. It is a hike that alternates between woods, agricultural plains and villages of varying sizes, including Bourogne and its charming wash houses. The end of the hike is the most pleasant part of the route, crossing the dry grasslands of Bourogne and walking along the Rhône-Rhine Canal.

This hike is the first stage of the GRP® - Randonnée des Forts. Starting from Belfort, this long hike takes in two of them, the Citadel of Belfort and the Fort of Giromagny. There are also numerous ponds and lakes, such as the Étang des Forges, the Étangs Lagace, the Étangs de la Charbonnière, the Étang d'Amont, the Étang d'Avau and those in the Malsaucy Nature Reserve. The first part, from Belfort to Fort de Giromagny, is mainly forest. After the fort, the hike becomes even more enjoyable with landscapes interspersed with numerous lakes, the last of which, Lac du Malsaucy, gave its name to the nature reserve of the same name. Of course, don't hesitate to stay longer in Belfort to admire the historical monuments.
