The walk around the lake is splendid and really very pleasant. At around 9:00 in the morning, we only came across one or two people. The climb that follows is on a very passable path, so there are no particular difficulties. We did this hike last week at the end of August, and we were a little disappointed by the end because part of the circuit was closed by a prefectural decree, so we had to take another route down (which, based on the comments, I think was much less interesting than the planned route). But it's still a great hike!

The first part of the route is easy, with a tour of the lake and a pleasant climb. The descent is more difficult, worthy of the sentier des roches. Good footwear and fitness are essential.

A wide variety of paths. In high summer, there are no difficulties. The steep path at the end is not to be taken in winter and is in any case forbidden throughout the ski season. The lake is magnificent, with benches all around, and beautiful reflections in the morning.

hike made on monday 1st may, a nice climb at the start (knowing the tour of the lake we avoided it).
At point 3 we branched off towards the Champis shelter and climbed opposite and descended towards Rouge Feigne, very surprising to see this ancient body of water covered in "Feignes". the diversions was worth it and we rejoined the Mariron path. and ate under the shelter below the viewpoint and returned to the car park via the superb Chemin des Rochers (which we had already walked in both directions on different circuits starting from Lac de Longemer.
It's a very nice route but you have to be very careful on the rocks. Although it's forbidden, we came across two mountain bikers there and today there were wheel tracks.

First hike with viso rando!
We set off with a rucksack and lunch. After walking around the lake, we had a picnic by the lake and then continued the hike. The first part was uphill, but after the red sign, the hike became interesting. My 12-year-old son really enjoyed the rest. Even though it's signposted as "difficult", we proceeded with caution (you need to be comfortable with difficult sections and be afraid of heights) and had a great time. (Yes, with hindsight, in very wet and frosty weather, you shouldn't do it). The direction of the walk is very good.
Beautiful views on the way down to Lac de Lispach!
In short, a very nice walk.

The tour of the lake alone is worth the trip. A little disappointed by the start of the hike to Rouges-Feignes on a path of little interest. However, the rest of the route is fantastic for an experienced hiker, especially the return section on the mountainside, with some tricky but well-designed sections (iron rungs, cables, footbridges). (Iron rungs, cables, footbridges). I can confirm that people prone to vertigo should avoid this section in bad weather. Although the description of the itinerary is indeed succinct, the "red ring" signposting around the Tête des Cerfs is more than sufficient to follow the route. I met around twenty hikers. I personally followed this loop after the "Lac de Lispach depuis Longemer" hike. This makes for an all-day walk (approx. 15km with 800m of ascent). However, I couldn't find the viewpoint towards the antenna.

We hiked on snow-covered paths. The uninteresting uphill section took us to a path that was inaccessible without snowshoes. We carried on as best we could and eventually reached the cross-country ski trail that took us to the viewpoint, from which we saw absolutely nothing.
The descent was more complicated because of the 30-40cm of snow. We gave up and rejoined the cross-country skiing route.
There was no difficulty at all apart from the snow.

Lovely hike with beautiful views. We did the route in the opposite direction.
We liked finishing at the lake more. I think it was a good choice.
The part of the lake in the woods is magnificent.
What's more, we had the chance to meet two professional entomologists who were carrying out an inventory around the lake.

Nice route, lovely scenery, beautiful peat bog at Rouge Feigne.
The description is very basic for finding the path in the second part.
Where there are no markings, some directions should be given.
This is the case for the viewpoint. We walked past it without going to see it.
Also at the picnic shelter (superb view of the Hohneck), we found ourselves on the track leading down to the road, having missed the start of the second part of the trail.

Walk completed on 19/07/2020.
The route is perfectly signposted and corresponds on the ground to the "Circuit de la tête des cerfs par le sentier Dielaine" hike.
For me, the second part is the most interesting; described as difficult, it is in fact accessible to reasonable and cautious people.
The first part remains a beautiful walk through undergrowth and on easy paths.
A very pleasant walk.

It took us 3 hours to complete this hike without exerting ourselves. We did it in the opposite direction (uphill along the ski jump), preferring the steep path on the way up. We didn't find it technically very difficult (experienced hikers). The lake is very beautiful and the Rouge Feigne peat bog is just magnificent.

It's a lovely walk, but I'd recommend doing the tour of the lake (which is very beautiful) at the end of the route rather than at the beginning. The climb, although not thrilling, is steady and therefore fairly easy on a wide path. The descent is actually a bit steep, but the path along the mountainside is nice. Even if the descent is described as technical, on dry ground, it is accessible to all (even those with short legs), with a little help from others for 2 or 3 passages. If, by any chance, the weather or the level of the hikers doesn't allow for this return, the descent along the wide, signposted path to the Tour des Roches is possible. We only used the GPS track, but I thought the markings were good.
Thank you
