Departure from Pierre-Percée (Meurthe-et-Moselle)
A very pretty circular route around the village of Pierre-Percée. It will take you from the shores of the lake to the Château de Salm, passing through the rocky outcrops of Marie Fontaine, La Xaveure and the Sentier des Roches. You will come across a few remnants of the First World War not far from the Col de la Chapelotte and several viewpoints, including the Roche de la Soye, on a more winding and technical section, with a less rugged return via the Musée de La Ménelle and theGR® 533.

Departure from Grandfontaine (Bas-Rhin) (Bas-Rhin)
A long hike that will take you from the Col du Donon to Saint-Blaise-la-Roche in the Schirmeck valley, via the Col du Prayé and the Col du Hantz. You’ll follow the old 1871 border between France and Germany along the ridges, which is still marked by several boundary stones. In August, the high moors are dotted with flowering heather, creating a beautiful pink hue that contrasts with the green of the fir trees, the blue of the sky and the white clouds.
