This hike will meet all expectations: in spring to admire the flowers along the paths, in summer to enjoy the coolness of the forest, in autumn, to gather a handful of mushrooms. Starting from the village of Pure, which stretches from the Aulnois valley, the trail, soon forested, unfolds various types of stands: undergrowth, mature trees, broadleaf, coniferous. Then, a gentle rural return offers an alternation of fields and meadows.
