To return to the car park where you started, take Rue Jean Mermoz in Jezainville. After the last house, continue along the tarmac road through the forest for 300 metres. The car park is on your left.
Yellow triangle markings.
(S/E) From the car park, with your back to Jezainville, take the road opposite (south-west). Ignore several paths and stay on the main path. At the bottom of the descent, about 1.6km from the start, you will reach a crossroads.
(1) Turn left onto Chemin de la Fontaine des Chiens and you will come to a crossroads at the bottom of the descent.
(2) Take the path on the right for 650 m to reach a three-way junction.
(3) Turn left onto Tranchée du Haut Piémont, ignore the path on your left and, 500 metres further on, at the crossroads at the top of the hill, continue straight ahead. If you want to take a short break, there is a bench available.
After the hunter's lookout, follow the red disc markings.
(4) The track turns right, descend to reach the next bend (ignore the path on the left. 250 metres further on, in a left-hand bend, ignore the path on the right).
(5) Turn right onto the track, which curves to the left and then makes a wide curve to the right. After an S-bend and a straight stretch of more than 500 metres, you will reach a crossroads on a beautiful track.
(6) Turn left onto the Tranchée du Milieu. At the end of the path, join theGR®5.
(7) Turn right until the next junction. In the curve, turn right to leave theGR®5and continue to the next crossroads.
(8) At the crossroads, turn left, ignore a path on the left and continue for about 1200m.
After the climb, there is a bench on your left before the crossroads.
(9) Continue straight ahead, curve to the left and at the three-way junction turn right. Be careful if the weather is wet, as the path can be slippery.
From this point, follow the yellow circle. Continue downhill without worrying about the other paths.
(10) At the stop sign, turn right onto Rue du Ruisseau and at the end of the street, continue right onto Rue Jean Mermoz.
Another 400 metres uphill and you will be back at the car park (S/E).
