Park in Réchésy, 24 km south-east of Belfort, in the car park of the multi-purpose hall on Route de Courcelles.
(S/E) From the stadium car park, follow Route de Courcelles for 100 metres, then turn left onto a stony path that climbs into the forest. 500 metres further up, take the forest track furthest to the left. This leads to a small wayside shrine dedicated to Notre-Dame du Mont. Stay on the ridge.
(1) The path joins a wide forest track lined with large boundary markers set at regular intervals: this is the Swiss border. Follow it to the left for 1.5 km.
(2) At boundary marker no. 154, take a path to the right; 200 metres further on, turn left onto a path that descends and joins another much wider path, keeping to the left. On emerging from the woods, cross the Vendeline and follow the D13 to the left.
(3) Opposite the first house and before the ‘France’ sign, head up the customs officers’ path; it reaches the ridge. Continue along the border to boundary marker no. 148
(4) A 300-metre round trip is possible to boundary marker ‘Les Trois Puissances’.
Leave the border and continue left onto a path that descends towards Réchésy. Follow Rue du Réservoir, then Rue de la Côte.
(5) Turn right onto Rue du Haut de la Côte, then left onto Route de Pfetterhouse, followed by Rue d’Uberstrasse, and then right onto Grande Rue.
(6) At the junction, turn right onto Chemin de Seppois. Follow this path heading north-east, then north. Pass three small ponds on your right.
(7) At the 420-metre mark, after the third pond, turn left and then walk alongside the two ‘Entre les Bois’ ponds. Join the D463 and follow it for 100 metres to the left.
(8) Just before the Carré du Souvenir, take the stony path that leads into the forest. At the picnic area, continue to the left for nearly 2 km. This path leads to the D13, passing close to the Étang du Bambois.
(9) Opposite, take the path leading to a lane and turn left to rejoin the D463.
(10) Follow this road for 400 metres. After the woodland, turn left along a hedge in the middle of a field. This path leads to the D20.
(11) Follow it for 5 metres, then turn right onto a path that descends, crossing the Vendeline stream. Just after the ‘Petit Tacot’ hiking shelter, you’ll come to the football pitch and the community hall (S/E).
