Rembercourt-Sommaisne walks

Well-marked hike mainly in the forest, passing near the developed chasms (wooden barriers). Yellow, white and redPR® markings for theGR® 14 and 14B.

A memorial hike on a site where very deadly battles took place between February and April 1915, considered by some historians to be a prelude to the Battle of Verdun (nearby), which was triggered a year later. Several monuments and numerous remains mark the route, including impressive craters left by huge explosions.

Route around the town of Saint-Dizier, along the Marne and the canals. Markings: large blue dots on the pavements, pedestrian crossings marked "La grande boucle" and blue circle wooden markers.

A very pretty walk through the forest and then along the canal, with a slightly steep climb at the beginning but which quickly becomes easier with the descent towards Sommeville. Picturesque spot: the passage under the railway line, then over the river on a metal footbridge.

A beautiful summer walk along the canal, then discover the pretty village of Curel and climb through the forest to reach Chevillon. Beautiful views of the Marne Valley and the Châtonrupt Viaduct (in good weather).

Walk around Lac du Der on paved cycle paths through the forest and along the dykes.

From the port of Giffaumont, follow the lake shore through the forest, looping around the Étang Chevalier and the Queue du Der, then return via Braucourt Beach and the south basin dyke.

Walk around the Landres and Grand Coulon ponds, where there are many birds to observe.

A walk through the Dervois bocage takes you from one observatory to another, where you can observe many species of water birds.
