Trail track 2 : Le Tacot du Thillot

Length of the route: 10.26 km – Elevation gain: 474 m – Duration: 1 hour to 2 hours – Markings: Trail sign + Club Vosgien sign – Level: easy.

Start: Museum Les Hautes Mynes car park.

The route is expected to be marked in June. Until then, you can use the GPX tracks to follow the route.

This route begins with a gentle warm-up on the cycling route, which climbs slightly before heading into the undergrowth to reach the ponds.

At kilometre 2.5, a steep climb awaits you: it's best to save some energy for this section, which is well known to participants in the Trail des Hautes-Mynes!

Once you reach the ponds, the terrain becomes easier to run on, ideal for changing pace on pleasant trails.

The loop ends gently with pretty paths and forest tracks leading downhill.
