Tips from the Community
Viewpoint from one of the many bunkers along the Marginot Line. On a clear day, the view from here is fantastic, stretching all the way to the nearby Vosges Mountains. Even the Donon and Dabo peaks are easily visible to the naked eye. This shady spot with its bench is also perfect for a short break.

A varied route where you walk between paths and forest tracks, towpath, cycle path, easy crossing of a small village and 2 slightly more tedious urban crossings where you will have to be extra vigilant with regard to traffic.
