District:
Park in the small car park at the fairground on the edge of the D33 (Rue de Villersexel).
(S/E) Head towards the D683 crossroads, cross carefully at the pedestrian crossing and turn right towards the village exit. At the exit, turn left onto Rue des Pommiers and, at the end of this road, turn right onto Voie de l'Isle. Continue straight ahead and follow this road almost to the end.
(1) Turn right, 15 metres before the end of the road, onto the path in the woods, as indicated by the yellow and blue markings. Further on, cross the underground pipeline that runs from Marseille to Strasbourg on a deforested section. Continue along the path to reach the motocross car park and the archery range.
(2) Leave the area via the footpath and cross the D683 with great care to take the field path just opposite the exit and leave the Rupt Valley hiking trail. Climb until this path ends.
(3) Turn right to enter the woods and a fir tree plantation, which currently consists of dead standing fir trees. Follow the trail that goes around a pasture at the edge of the woods, then enters the forest to reach a path and rejoin the yellow-blue trail markers for hikers in the Rupt Valley. Continue downhill to a white path perpendicular to the place called Corne de la Marsotte.
(4) Turn right, leaving the yellow-blue markings.
(5) Just at the beginning of the cultivated field, turn left and go up into the woods, following the path to the small tarmac road (Route des Baraques). Turn right towards the hunters' chalet. Walk past it for about a hundred metres.
(6) Enter the woods on the left and continue slightly to the left to reach the fitness trail (circular path in this hunting reserve). Exit the fitness trail on the left at the lowest point and follow the path that leaves the woods and leads to Rue des Chênes. Follow this street to the right to return to the car park where you started (S/E).
