The forest road between Brouvelieures and Autrey is a scenic and quiet road that follows the La mortagne river through the forest. The road winds through a dense and enchanting forest.

I can confirm it is a really nice ride, mostly downhill if you're 'leaving' the Vosges and heading North :)

On this very little busy road, it always goes through forest and river. The road invites you to a comfortable gondola, but you can also drive it fast. Here we have had several encounters with wildlife, as this road cuts through a large forest area. As a connection to the north it is perfect, but it is also worthwhile to use it as a starting point or tours over the kelineren connecting roads branching off from it. Attention: Not recommended is the access on the side road between Bois-de-Champ and Brouvelieures. Here you prefer to take the larger main road.
