Docelles walks

This route winds through beautiful deciduous forests and allows you to discover the Haut-du-Bois maquis site, a symbol of the actions of many maquisards during the Second World War. On 9 September 1944, this maquis of around thirty people was attacked by German forces. Following their leader's order to retreat, more than 20 were saved, but 10 lost their lives.

A hike starting from Le Roulier that offers two variations on the route.

Hike in the heart of the Dompierre Communal Forest. Let yourself be carried away by the sound of water and birdsong.

A hike through the woods separating the villages of Lépanges-sur-Vologne and Viménil. You will be accompanied by deciduous trees (oaks and beeches) and conifers (fir, spruce and even larch).

A trail in the heart of the Vosges forest will take you to two magnificent waterfalls and across a few small streams. Of course, like all water trails, it is best to visit outside the dry seasons, otherwise it loses all its appeal. The trail is fairly well marked (red rings) and there are picnic tables along the way (especially in the first part).

A short hike full of surprises in a forest environment among sandstone rocks. A viewpoint equipped with a promontory offering a beautiful view of the Moselle valley.The circular route can be done in either direction, but the suggested direction allows you to better appreciate the elevation gain.There are markings (yellow diamonds) but they are not always easy to spot.

An easy and very pleasant walk, winding through the undergrowth, which will take you to La Roche des Cuveaux, an unusual place and natural gem with a magnificent panorama, but also other beautiful viewpoints along the route, including one from the Tête des Cuveaux viewpoint: a 9-metre-high wooden promontory with an orientation table at the top. As a bonus, there are impressive rocks along the way. A real treat in autumn.

In the Vologne Valley at the foot of the Montagne du Village, Fays is a small, characterful village in the Vosges mountains, surrounded by greenery.

This walk is accessible to all, alternating between paved roads and forest trails.

This hike will appeal to forest lovers. It passes through a variety of forests: young and old, deciduous and coniferous, dense and sparse. Depending on the time of day or the season, you will be accompanied by birdsong.

An easy hike that passes by two pretty waterfalls, with trails through the woods and the Vosges countryside. The route follows the typical Club Vosgien signage, which may seem a little complex and confusing at first but, with a little practice, proves to be particularly effective, provided you have an IGN map to refer to.

An easy, shaded hike. Refresh yourself at the St Augustin fountain, it will do you good.

The Circuit des Fourmis is the ideal place for a family walk. This short trail is dotted with ant sculptures, which explain its name, and information panels. The trail is marked with ant symbols.
