(2) Turn left onto this road and follow it, ignoring three entrances on the right. Look for a path perpendicular to the road on the right, in the fourth entrance.
(3) Take this path on the right and turn left at the first fork you come to. The path climbs gently, passing close to Fort de Rupt (entrance signposted 150 metres away). When you come to a path crossing perpendicularly, continue straight ahead. A little further on, you will enjoy a beautiful view of the Moselle valley. Continue straight ahead, ignoring an entrance on the left, until you come to a wide path on your right.
(4) Turn left onto this path, which makes a wide left turn. Ignore the entrances on the right and left in this turn. Look for the first entrance on the left, just before a small right/left turn in the path.
(5) Follow this small path straight ahead, staying almost on the hillside, ignoring four entrances on the left. Turn left into thefifth entrance and join the D57 and the Croix du Geai.
(highest point of the hike).
