Viewpoint from one of the many bunkers along the Marginot Line. On a clear day, the view from here is fantastic, stretching all the way to the nearby Vosges Mountains. Even the Donon and Dabo peaks are easily visible to the naked eye. This shady spot with its bench is also perfect for a short break.

A varied route where you walk between paths and forest tracks, towpath, cycle path, easy crossing of a small village and 2 slightly more tedious urban crossings where you will have to be extra vigilant with regard to traffic.

The history of the picturesque Bonne Fontaine chapel in Hoste began in 1799, when a Marian apparition occurred near a spring, in front of a deaf-mute child, who was cured. Other stories of healing quickly appeared and large pilgrimages were organized, in the context of the French Revolution, which did not appreciate these crowd movements. In 1848, a Calvary was erected, then the spring was developed. Finally, at the dawn of the First World War, the chapel was erected to receive the religious fervor aroused by this place steeped in both belief and legend.
