Les grands bois 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: blue disc 20 km Shaded walk in the Épinal forest, with remarkable trees and touristic sites. At the entrance to the forest, turn right onto the marked forest path (solid blue disc). After crossing the stream, continue to the left for 600 m. Then take the path on the left, marked out (solid blue triangle), then the Void des roches path for 400 m. In the curve, at the crossroads, turn right onto the path that leads to the Roche de la Grenouille. A little further on, take the path of the “ducs”, marked out (yellow diamond) which leads you to the cross of Bossottes after walking near a big Douglas, remarkable tree. Turn left onto the Saint-Oger path to reach a crossroads. Take the forest path of Maisonfaing for 3 km to pass near the "grands Douglas", a group of remarkable trees located slightly off the trail. Leave the big Douglas trees behind and take on the right the marked path, (blue solid disc) and (yellow diamond) in the direction of the Charlot rocks, following a nice little rocky valley. Cross the stream on the right and continue on the path to the dripping rock. Shortly after this, follow the marked path (red cross) for 600 m and at the crossroads, turn right to the Charmois trench to reach the Bossottes cross again. Turn left onto the Chemin des Prés Barthes. About 100 m further on, take the marked path (blue solid disc) to reach your starting point, the Folie Finot car park.
