Saint-Baslemont walks

An easy hike on the edge of the Vôge, in the Darney forest. A double circular to be done in a day, featuring monuments and ruins from different periods.

A small, discreet corner of the Vosges, but one full of beautiful discoveries. Among others, the sources of the Saône and Madon rivers. We recommend that you read the description beforehand to identify the specific points of interest on the route in advance.

The Madon and its tributaries are waterways that are important to preserve and maintain, both to limit flooding and for the environment, as they are sources of biodiversity and are responsible for the landscapes you will pass through on this walk.

Starting from the pretty village of Grandrupt-de-Bains with its beautiful old houses, this hike will take you to a place where the Resistance fighters lived and trained in August and September 1944, but above all a place of remembrance.

A few sections on the road allow us to pass through forests, meadows and farmland, as well as rural areas.
