In my personal opinion, this route has too many tarmac roads.
The return trip to Lombers via the greenway is long and uninteresting.
I took the track parallel to the road towards the shooting range - Puech Blanc
which is more pleasant than the road. However, check whether the
shooting range is not in use, otherwise turn back!!!!

Hello, we are new to the area and we used to go hiking around Metz, planning our own routes and using maps and compasses (no GPS).
Here, it's much simpler: the routes are well marked, so there's no need to plan ahead, but that won't stop us from venturing off the beaten track from time to time.
THANK YOU

A fairly straightforward hike with no particular points of interest, although it is still an enjoyable walk.
However, the route is rather poorly marked.
It is impossible to follow the route, which goes pretty much anywhere. The highest point is a deviation of up to 500 metres about halfway along the route.
