(S/E) Turn left onto Chemin des Rochettes and very quickly turn left onto a path through the woods. Ignore thefirst path on the left and, at the end of the path, turn left onto the footbridge and cross the Ruisseau du Phény, which will accompany you all the way to the waterfall.
Continue right on Chemin de Sapois. At the fork, continue right until you reach another fork.
(1) Take the path on the left. Cross the stream again and continue to the right. The path turns right and becomes a trail that runs alongside the stream.
Several times, the path crosses the stream via magnificent little stone bridges.
Some passages are tricky, so don't hesitate to use the chains attached to the wall. You will arrive at the Saut de la Bourrique.

(2) Do not take the footbridge on the right (Red Disc route), but take the stairs on the left and climb to the end of the path.
Then turn left and continue climbing in the same direction until you reach the house of L'Urson.

After two buildings, take the path on the left and, at the T-junction, turn right. The viewpoint is about 50 metres to the right.
(5) Follow the path down to the left of the viewpoint. Caution: some sections are tricky. Cross Route de la Bresse. There is poor visibility of approaching vehicles, so continue straight ahead.
The descent continues to the right, ending next to a "Sanitaires" building, opposite Lake Gérardmer.
