Country:
District:
Park in the car park opposite the village town hall.
(S/E) With your back to the town hall, head north-west, following the yellow and blue markings.
(1) At the crossroads near the pumping station, keep left.
(2) Ignore the access road to Puy de la Velle on the right and turn right at the junction shortly afterwards, following the direction of Fente de Babre. This part of the hike is open and partly on the road.
(3) Enter the forest and climb to the top of the ridge to join theGR®59.
(4) Once you reach the ridge, leave the Fente de Babre and head right towards Hièvre-Magny. Throughout the ridge section, there are open areas offering beautiful views of the Doubs valley (from Baume-les-Dames in the west to Hyèvre Paroisse in the east). Some sections require caution but are never vertiginous.
(5) At Combe au Louvier, ignore the path on the left that descends to the Doubs and continue straight ahead.
(6) Begin the fairly steep descent to Hyèvre-Magny.
(7) Leave theGR®59, which heads left, and continue right towards Villers-Saint-Martin.
(8) When you reach the road (D331), turn left, following the yellow and blue markings (Villers-Saint-Martin via the Bois de la Versenne), then turn right onto a wide path that is more pleasant than the road. Stay on this path, which slopes further to the right (elevation 344) and crosses the woods.
(9) As you approach the village (elevation 393), veer left to stay in the forest on this wide path without being tempted by the road you can see a little further down.
(10) Turn right onto Rue des Papillons and at the end of it, turn left then right at the corner of the town hall to return to the starting point (S/E).
