Thank you for your comments. It's a shame that the Museum of the Mise was closed, because if you're interested in local history, you would undoubtedly have enjoyed this addition to the tour.

A lovely walk in the hills above Hayange.
As the museum was closed, we went straight to the finishing point.

The appeal of the route remains limited and is mainly worth it for the visit to the mining museum at the end of the route.

At the start, you can take the fishing coast, which is more pleasant than climbing the hill along the road.
At the motorway tunnels, continue straight ahead, leaving the tunnels on your right. Then climb the steep slope and turn left at the top.
A lovely walk, especially for children, who took a break at the Mine de Neuf Chef playground.

It's always the same problem, recurring in many places; but what can be done about this incivility?
Certainly not hide it, quite the contrary: we must acknowledge it and denounce it again and again and hope that awareness will grow. Thank you.

Before the footbridge over the motorway, there is a lot of rubbish along the embankments.

Unfortunately, you are right about the maintenance of these trails, but we are in a private forest.
The owner of this forest is very accommodating and even very tolerant of the lack of respect that can be seen in some places, allowing us free access even though it is his hunting ground. We cannot blame him for anything.
However, on 16 September 2018, my walking club and I are organising an IVV hike on this route, and we have received the kind permission of the owner to clean up the route ourselves. We will therefore remove the branches, brambles and other vegetation that has grown rampant.
We maintain this trail once a year for our own use, but unfortunately, the vegetation does not wait for us.
Thank you for your understanding.

A very pleasant hike with the expected level of difficulty (medium).
There are two fairly steep hills to climb, but they are far enough apart to allow you to catch your breath between them.
The hike took 3 hours and 30 minutes, including breaks, and we spent quite a bit of time at the iron mine museum, near the machinery!
Two minor drawbacks, however:
1. The route is still close to roads and motorways. You are never really sheltered from the noise of cars.
2. We lost the return trail a little, the one that crosses the D57 and passes behind the gardens. In the end, the last part of the route was on the pavement along the road from Neufchef... it wasn't great... but it gives us a reason to do this route again another time, so we can follow the original itinerary.
In any case, the general opinion of the group was very good, with the approach to the barred spur and the descent to the iron mine undoubtedly being the highlight.
