Park in the church square in Dampierre-sur-Linotte.
(S/E) Leave the square and walk between the church and the school. After crossing the main road, continue on to reach the Fontaine Saint-Maimbœuf and the bridge on the old Vesoul road. Stay on this road and cross the Combe de Tevey.
(1) At the fork, turn right then left to reach the entrance to the Grand Bois de Dampierre.
(2) From here, take the farm tracks, single tracks and paths through sinkholes. Join the Combe Métot track at a turning area.
(3) Head diagonally left then right atthe first junction. Then turn right at the next junction to reach the ‘three fir trees’ junction, where you turn left. Almost at the bottom of the descent, take the single track that follows the edge of the woodland, before climbing the embankment to reach the village chalet and its picnic area.
(4) Quickly leave the main path to follow the single track that heads left, and which, after a steep climb, runs alongside a sinkhole.
(5) Then rejoin the main path, turn left onto it to reach the Route Forestière du Grand Bois. Continue straight ahead until you reach a right-angled junction.
(6) Turn left and continue straight on until you reach a hairpin bend.
(7) Take care here: veer left to tackle a steep climb to reach the sinkholes.
(8) Cross them and continue straight ahead, then turn right at the next junction to return to the Route Forestière in the Combe de Bas Pirroux.
(9) Cross this road and continue straight ahead, passing another road to reach the Combe Henriette, at the junction with the Chemin des Parties.
(10) Follow it to the left to reach the junction with the tarmac road to Vy-lès-Filain, above Dampierre.
(11) Take it to the left for a few metres, then leave it by taking the path on the right. Begin the descent towards Dampierre. Take the road to the left, walk past the cemetery, then head towards the Quatre Gouliches wash house.
(12) Then turn left and cross the Vicarage garden to reach the church square (S/E).
