Hello, fellow hiker, and thank you for using my route to stretch your legs.
As for your comments, which I fully agree with, these cannot be resolved by Visorando.
Enjoy your future hikes with Visorando.

Hello,

A pleasant and varied route
However, it is difficult to find your way, particularly when leaving the woods between points 1 and 2: the signposting needs improving
Furthermore, the staff carrying out the tree felling seem to be working somewhat against common sense: branches not properly piled up and left across the path; logs and 1-metre-long pieces lying across the paths
I’m an amateur woodcutter and it’s not our habit to leave a site like this
It’s a real shame, as it spoils the pleasure of walking through this lovely wood a bit.
So, a bit of tidying up and care from these woodcutters, a bit more signposting, and it will be perfect

Kind regards

Thanks, mac.hinet
Thank you for choosing this route. I understand your point.
Unfortunately, when it comes to signposting, Visorando isn’t involved in marking the route.
However, as this walk is one of my oldest creations, I’d be grateful for any advice on how to improve it.
Enjoy your continued use of Visorando.

The signage on this lovely route could do with some improvement.

Hello
This route needs to be re-routed as part of it is confusing and crosses a cultivated field off the beaten track.
I would not recommend it in its current state.

Kind regards

A short hike I chose as my first solo hike to test myself a bit before tackling something bigger. I found it quite enjoyable, but there are two downsides:
- the paths are rather poorly signposted (I must have seen three Yellow Circles in total) and there are trails everywhere in the first part of the forest. In fact, I missed a path and had to adjust my route along the way.
- Beware of stinging caterpillars: I didn’t see any warning signs when I entered the forest, but a little further on, once I’d come out (about time!). The route through the forest is not recommended, so I avoided the section of forest after the pond and headed straight back to Jeandelaincourt via the cemetery.

In the end, I covered about 4km; I think I could easily have done double that under the same conditions. And that’s handy, as the next hike I’m planning is actually about 9km

Thank you for your reply, which only adds to the quality of Visorando’s services! It’s a real pleasure!
To match your standard, I need to do this hike again and note down areas for improvement, but I won’t be able to do so in the coming weeks... I’ve made a note of the request and will be able to respond in the spring.
Thank you again for the hike suggestion, thank you to Visorando, and well done on the accurate, reliable and reassuring app.

Thank you, Resistance
I must admit that in some places, it’s difficult to find your bearings and get your bearings.
I’m no longer in the area to update this walk, so I’d be grateful for any suggestions you might have.

I agree with some of the reviews: it’s a lovely walk, with plenty of beautiful sights (the scenery, the pond, the sculptures…) and you learn a lot too: descriptions and facts about the trees. Thanks to whoever came up with this route! That said, without the app on my smartphone – thanks, Visorando – I’d still be there… As well as the lack of signposting, there are lots of felled trees left on the ground, blocking the paths. A shame... But thanks for the idea; it’s always nice to discover new things.

A short, varied and very easy walk. However, the signposting is very sparse, and without the app on your smartphone to follow the route, I can tell you it’s very tricky.

Me, mean?? No way, I’m a sweetie – just don’t mess with me, lol. Right then, next time you go there, take me along so I can have a look, lol

Hello, and sorry, Christelle .
This short section, after the playground, is themed and winds its way a bit from one sign to the next. I too found it hard to follow at the time. But as it winds through the forest, it’s difficult to guide a walker without telling them to follow the Yellow Circles. Mind you, the Yellow Circles do need to be maintained.
Careful, don’t be rude to me, or I’ll come and see you... I live 4 km from your place

Hello

I did it today – it was a right nightmare from the start with the Yellow Circles; loads of them were missing, so I got lost. I ended up following the tracks left by horses in the mud and eventually found myself back on the forest path leading to the stadium.
Next time I’ll head straight up the forest path to the top and then turn left along the edge of the woods (see map). I’m not criticising the person who designed the route, I just want to make that clear.

Christelle.
