To get to the starting point, go to Rue de la Croix, 90150 Frais. Continue for about 800 metres along Rue de la Croix before arriving at the reception area located on the edge of the Étang du Pré de la Caille. The road is paved up to the reception area.
(S/E) After admiring the landscape with its beautiful pond, continue northwards. After 100 metres, at the crossroads with a bench, turn right. The path enters the forest.
(1) At the edge of the forest, at a place called Les Grands Champs, turn left, heading due west, making a hairpin turn. Continue straight ahead on a beautiful stone path that enters the forest again.
(2) After 1 km, at the T-junction, turn left. You will join the GRE5, which you will follow for most of the hike.
After 500 metres, take the second path on the right, then turn left immediately afterwards. The signposting is helpful in this section.
(3) When you reach the D419, follow it to the left towards the south-east and walk along it for 100 metres. Cross it and take a path on the right that enters the forest: the Haut Bois.
(4) In the middle of the forest, a sign indicates a shelter nearby on the right. You will need to make a detour of less than 100 metres. You can take a break here. There is a designated area for making a fire. Only collect dead wood, which is abundant. Continue straight ahead for about 500 metres.
(5) Turn left and continue straight ahead, passing close to the Étang des Crastsch.
(6) Take the hairpin bend to the left. You are now leaving the GRE5. The signposting is helpful at this point.
After 100 metres, turn right. The path leads to a cultivated area and then runs alongside a pond.
