Description of the walk

Park near the Sommy farm located on the heights of the village of Fey, towards Corny.

(S/E) Enter the village via Rue de Netteveau and Rue d'Augny. At the village exit, you will come to a crossroads.

(1) Leave the path on the right and continue straight ahead towards the west. Pass the hamlet of Les Chalins. Enter the forest, then quickly leave it to arrive at the Gravier district in Corny-sur-Moselle.

(2) Turn right twice to take Rue d'Auché, which follows the^GR®5F. Continue to the Jouy-aux-Arches cemetery.

(3) Leave the^GR® on the right and take the path running alongside the cemetery. Continue, making a wide right turn then a left turn. Back in the forest, you will reach a crossroads.

(4) Ignore the road that branches off to the left and continue straight ahead, crossing a small forest. Walk along the meadow on your right. You will reach another crossroads near the Ouvrage Sommy.

(5) Leave the path that branches off to the left and take the small path opposite. Continue along the meadow to go around the fort.

(6) Leave the path on your left again and continue straight ahead. Stay on the edge of the woods, then turn 90° to the right and walk alongside a vineyard. Shortly afterwards, you will come to another turn, but this time 90° to the left. Continue until you reach the initial crossroads.

(1) Take the path downhill to the left and then left again to return to the starting point (S/E).

A very pleasant hike in the hills above Fey, easy, but the estimated walking time needs revising: we took 1 hour 45 minutes walking at a leisurely pace, with regular breaks for drinks.
Apart from a short stretch on a narrow forest path at the start of the return journey, it was a lovely walk... which we ended with a picnic in the vineyards above the farm where we started.

A lovely walk in the Lorraine countryside, completed in 2 hours and 15 minutes.
No particular difficulties, even the uphill sections seem easy. Lovely views of the countryside.
We came across some mountain bikers who were having a great time on a downhill section, but they still took the time to greet the hikers.

Due to not having a car, we started the circular at No. 4. Despite the grey weather, it was a lovely walk. I thought I knew the area well, but I discovered the path between points 4 and 7. We walked through the undergrowth (which is nice in summer for the shade) and enjoyed a few views of the valley. A good winter morning.

The four of us did this walk yesterday... We managed to follow it, but many times we wondered if we were on the right path. The description lacks precision. For example:
- "Take the path that runs alongside the cemetery"... is this the path BEFORE or AFTER the cemetery, depending on our route?
- "Walk along a vineyard." Apart from the fact that the vineyard "appears" after a certain distance, should we walk along it on our left or on our right, as both possibilities are open to us?

Otherwise, with the sun, the view was often very nice.

A lovely, very pleasant circular, especially in winter as it is open. Unobstructed views and encounters with very friendly sheep and goats. Thank you for the route, a pleasant moment in nature just 15 minutes from Metz.

A pleasant, easy hike that can be enjoyed by families with children, this circular is well maintained and three-quarters of the hike is in the shade (which is appreciated in hot weather).
