Randonnée - la forêt du chanot

Access: From Remiremont, take the expressway towards Vesoul. Take the D20 exit for Le Val-d'Ajol, then head for La Croisette at the roundabouts.
Parking: park at "l'Hôtel Enfoncé".

Distance: 6 km / Duration: 2 h / Difference in height: 130m / Signs: yellow ring.

1) Start from the place called l'Hôtel Enfoncé. Follow the large forest path opposite the Foyer Rural. 200 m after the refuge chalet, take the left-hand path. Go straight on until you reach the magnificent viewpoint of La Feuillée Nouvelle, which is located after the television relay station.
2) On the right at the end of the terrace, a gravel path leads down to the D20. Follow this road for 100 m downstream, until the first bend in the road, where you take a forest track to the right. Follow it for about 1 km until it joins another forestry lane called the Grande Tranchée.
3) Immediately turn left onto a dirt track that runs along the ridge. A hook on the left offered a viewpoint that no longer exists. Therefore, stay on the same ridge path.
4) Leave the ridge path on the right. Cross the Grande Tranchée again. Follow the edge of the forest to the first path on the left leading out of the wood. Cross a tarmac track and take the first path on the right towards the Etang des Prêtres (this pond was listed in the inventory of the Priory of Hérival in 1792).
5) Go along the pond, bypassing it from the north and taking a wide path lined with new houses, then at the next crossroads go back into the forest on a grassy path.
6) Once on the D20, turn right towards the summit to reach the car park after 200 m.
