Departure from the car park at the Notre-Dame mine shaft in the hamlet of Éboulet (Champagney).
Coming from Ronchamp, after the École Cachot school, take thefirst right (pass in front of the glass container esplanade) and continue a little further to thesecond esplanade. The old mine shaft is marked by a circular concrete slab.
Coming from Champagney, cross the main road opposite the Aldi store and the Chapelle Sainte-Pauline de la Piotnaz chapel. Go down the road towards Éboulet and, before the school car park, take thesecond left onto Rue de la Belle Fontaine. Keep left at the junction onto Chemin de la Bassée, which leads to the shaft.
The route is marked with a yellow ring and partly follows theGR®59.
(S/E) From the car park, take Chemin de la Bassée, turn right onto Rue de la Belle Fontaine and then immediately left onto Rue de Pologne. Follow this street to the right until you reach the multiple crossroads on Rue de la Blanche Pierre.
(1) Turn left and follow this street, continuing straight ahead at the junction with Rue Jean Jaurès, where you will join theGR®59(marked in white and red). Continue along the dirt track which leads to the crest of the hill and offers a magnificent view of the Rahin valley and the Planche des Belles Filles. Turn left and head for the orientation table and picnic table.
(2) Continue straight ahead on the path, which curves sharply to the right.
(3) Turn left onto a ridge path, following theGR® markings, pass the Belle Fontaine spring and you will come to a beautiful viewpoint.
(4) Continue to follow the balcony path that supports theGR®59.
(5) Leave theGR®59and take the sloping path on the left. Further down, cross a path by making the first turn right then left and continue on the path that descends. At the first fork, continue to the left and do the same at the next fork to reach the Tonnet well or well no. 9.
(6) Turn left then right to reach the well. Then follow the path that takes the old mine wagon track.
(7) Continue straight ahead and pass close to the Espérance shaft (mine shaft). At the first fork, go straight ahead, then turn left at the second fork to return to the car park where you started (S/E).
. Then the view is magnificent, the paths easy, even at the start of the year and with all the rain that has fallen. We set off without the GPX track, so we took the wrong path on the descent, which I think meant we covered a good kilometre less. The return along the old wagon track is very pretty. Another great discovery.
