Tête du Coquin (837m) walks

A hike in the forest of Celles-sur-Plaine, from Pain de Sucre to Roche du Coquin. Discover an observatory built and used by the Germans from 1915 onwards to alert the anti-aircraft defences along the route, knowing that the French air force was entering Alsace via the Col du Donon.

This first stage is probably the hardest day of the route. Beautiful views, pleasant trails and few forest roads. A steep climb at the end of the day explains the "Difficult" rating.

Three days of hiking and camping around the Val de Senones, passing by beautiful viewpoints. Campsites at the Tête du Coquin and the Haute Loge.

A circular hike starting from Celles-sur-Plaine, climbing up into the forest towards the three German observatories from the First World War.

The walk is partly signposted by Tourisme de Mémoire signs.La Pierre Piquée, with its parapets and blockhouses, just outside the site, Le Pain de Sucre with its ramparts and a beautiful view from the top of Le Coquin.
