Start from the Montécheroux stadium.
(S/E) Take the D121 road on the left, which descends to Saint-Hippolyte. Pass a road on the right and, 500m further on, at the junction with the road leading to Chamesol, turn right into a pasture onto the path marked with a Yellow Rectangle and a Blue Rectangle.
(1) At the edge of the woods, take the ridge path to the right. Follow the yellow and blue markings to Liebvillers. Take care, as you are walking over 100m above the ground on a steep path!
On this path, you’ll enjoy numerous views of Saint-Hippolyte and its surroundings. At one point, you’ll also pass an old wild boar park and discover the Grotte du Bisontin.
(2) After the cave, head down a forest track and turn right.
(3) Once you reach Liebvillers, a detour to the fountain is a must – a short 50m detour to the left. There, you’ll see plenty of trout just waiting to be fed. You’ll also see a building next to the fountain, where many pliers were once made.
After this stop at the fountains, head back up Rue de Chatillon, pass the indoor swimming pool and veer slightly to the left. After 150m, take a path on the right which will lead you to the D36E2, the road linking Noirefontaine to Montécheroux. Turn right and follow the road for 100m.
(4) At the exit of the hairpin bend on the edge of the forest, take the path on the right and follow it to a clearing 1 km away. 100 m before the edge of the woods, turn 90° to the right to join a gravel road that you can see 200 m ahead.
(5) Turn right and join another road at a bend. Turn right onto this road, which leads you to Les Essarts Diot.
(6) After admiring the view, retrace your steps for 50m and take the path on the right that leads into the woods. As you pass under the first power line, turn left at the junction of two paths (not shown on the IGN map). Continue straight on to reach the D121.
(7) Once you reach the D121, turn right to reach the stadium (S/E).
