Walking trail - Le Champ de Roches (Short Circuit)

To see:
THE CORBELINE: This 9.4 km long stream with clear waters originates from the place called "Derrière Nayemont" in the municipality of Arrentès de Corcieux. It then crosses the municipality of Barbey Seroux before flowing into the Vologne at Granges sur Vologne.
THE MINES OF WATER: These are galleries dug into the ground to collect spring and infiltration waters. Designed in loose soil like sandstone, they were masonry-built. They present themselves as long tunnels made of rubble and vaulted. Some still function to supply running water to isolated houses.

Departure: At the col of Arrentès de Corcieux (alt 684 m), park in the parking lot opposite the restaurant.
On foot:
1/ Cross the D 31 and take the C1 towards the center of the village of Arrentès de Corcieux (green circle) heading to the Champ de Roches.
You pass in front of the town hall.
At the next intersection, continue to the right (green circle). After crossing the Corbeline stream*, continue up the steep road. In front of an old farm, turn left onto a small path bordered by stone walls, into a spruce forest.
2/ Turn sharply right and 100 m later, go down to the left to reach the site of the Champ de Roches. There you can discover explanatory panels about this geological feature.
After crossing it, continue left on the paved road after the parking lot (green circle).
At 150 m, at the intersection, follow the markings and continue straight on a dirt path. Then, upon reaching a paved road, turn left downhill (direction Corcieux).
Cross the Corbeline stream again. At the Goutelles intersection (alt 700 m), continue straight towards the Arrentès, in the fir forest.
3/ At 800 m, leave the road and take the small path slightly uphill on your right (green circle). About 200 m later, look to your right in the stone wall for the entrance to a water mine*.
At the edge of the forest, turn left and discover the beautiful panorama of the Corcieux basin, with, in the foreground, the Col of Arrentès and on the horizon, the blue line of the Vosges.
4/ Upon reaching the first houses, turn left onto the paved road to return to the starting point at the Col.

Marking: green circle.
