The description starts from the Ferme d'Humbertois, which is signposted from the Route de Remiremont in Épinal. However, it is possible to start this walk from many other places.
Before arriving at the farm, park at the entrance to a forest road on the right coming from Épinal.
(S/E) The hike can begin by following the "Disque Vert" (Green Disc) markings.
(1) After about 300 metres, at the first major crossroads, turn left and follow the "Chevalet Vert" signs. Follow these until you see the "Disque Rouge" signs.
(2) Continue towards the houses in the hamlet of Les Treize Cantons. Follow these signs for about 16 km. You will arrive at Lac de Bouzey.
(3) Turn right and walk along the lake. Further on, at the bottom of a steep, straight descent with large stones, leave the signs and take a path that descends to the left to reach a forest path at an electrical substation.
(4) Take this path on the left and 600 m further on, descend via a path on the right to reach a bridge over the Lac de Bouzey supply canal, which you will (normally) have already "climbed" earlier.
(5) Follow this canal down to the houses opposite. Take the tarmac road on the far right and a little further down you will find the "Chevalet Jaune" sign, which you should follow to a car park where you will follow the "Triangle Rouge" sign. Shortly afterwards, follow the canal again.
(6) At a bridge, leave the "Red Triangle" sign and follow the "Green Disc" sign, still following the canal. This sign will lead you directly (after a few kilometres) to the starting point (S/E).
