Les dix route

Thanks to the Club Vosgien for the creation of this hike and for the work done by its teams throughout the year to mark out and maintain these paths.

Marking: green ring
A pleasant urban and suburban route through the hills and forests of the Vosges with magnificent views of the city.
Exit the car park, turn left onto the marking “o” through the rue des Soupirs for 50 m, then go up the stairs on the left and turn right a little further on into the Chemin des Gardes. At the top of the stairs, you will arrive to a path that offers a beautiful panoramic view of the town and leads you to Rue des Corvées. Go up to the left for 30 m, then turn right onto the Mont Carmel path. Cross the wood to go down rue des Soupirs towards the Quarante Semaine. Follow the markings “o” to get to the Guéry fountain after walking under a sandstone bridge with an old railway line that served the fortified belt of Épinal.
From the fountain, turn right onto the path that winds along the foot of overhanging rocks. Go up the hillside to reach a ridge near a platform with a 100 m high antenna.
Continue on the left to get near a stele built in memory of resistance fighters shot in 1944. Then walk for a long time through a varied forest composed of beeches, oaks, firs, spruces and Scots pines, and keep following the “o” markers.
When you leave the forest, after the farm, you will find the cross of the Pestiférés on the left, 115 m away from the trail.
Take the path through the fields. Near an old farm, turn left onto a road and then right onto the path which takes you back to the starting point via the viewpoint, the rue de la Pelle and the ruelle du Coteau.
