The walk was lovely, but there are a couple of things to bear in mind before setting off:
There isn’t much shade along the route
When walking along the cycle path, please walk in single file as it is quite busy (and there is no grass verge to walk on for added safety)
It’s impossible to walk alongside the Bruche as there’s no path along the river
and the paths through the fields aren’t always easy to navigate depending on the time of year, as the grass isn’t always cut

Hello,
We went on this walk on 6 August 2024, in light rain.
Between 100 and 200 metres around point 4, there is no path; you get stuck in the cornfields and have to climb over a fence. This route needs to be amended.

A major navigational error in the final third of the route: the path no longer matches what is shown in either the description or the GPS track. You therefore have to improvise and cross a field at its edge, running the risk of getting your feet stuck in the mud if the ground is damp.
Furthermore, the path runs along a very busy cycle path, which is not without its dangers and leads to unpleasant comments from certain grumpy cyclists whose bikes lack bells, forcing them to swerve or brake suddenly.

A short route that could have been quite nice, but:
Point 1) you don’t take a path on the right, but a small, fairly busy road, as it leads straight to the car park at the fishing lake
Point 2) the wide strip of grass running alongside the cycle path is barely 1 metre wide! It’s difficult to walk there safely as cyclists come very close to you!
Point 3) The fields are impassable; the grass grows to a height of about 1.5 metres. We did try to cross two of them, only to find barbed wire tangled in the grass. The Bruche is absolutely inaccessible from this side; the banks have apparently been redeveloped, and there are now embankments 1.5 to 2 metres high. It’s impossible to get down to the river, let alone walk alongside it. We had to carry on through the fields, in full sun.
And one last thing: the paths are full of ticks on the first part of the walk. Take appropriate precautions, especially if you’re bringing dogs or children.
In short, I was disappointed with this route.

A lovely walk
very easy

but we did it when the fields were wet, so our shoes got muddy and very heavy

A short, easy hike
It’s not too difficult, but it’s best to wear trousers or bring a machete as there’s an area where you might get a bit of a scratch.

A lovely route – we were able to stop for a picnic by the Bruche!
However, having walked it in early May, the route around the (4) is impassable, especially if you’re not wearing thick trousers: the ground is completely overgrown, with tall grass and stinging nettles! If this is the case, you can always go round via the small path just above this waypoint. So be careful when crossing fields, depending on the season!
