Cabins built along the route of the Nature Reserve, recalling the past of the coal miners

Great place to relax during an outing, the water in the fountain is not controlled but drinkable to my knowledge. The view is superb over the entire valley

If you're looking for a nature-filled walking adventure, you can visit the Chalmessin Nature Reserve, a former national nature reserve located in the Grand Est region of France. This reserve extends over 124 hectares and protects one of the most remarkable marshes on the Langres plateau, as well as the fauna and flora that live there. Throughout the route, you will observe varied vegetation (orchids, sedges, reeds, cotton grass) and encounter rare animals (butterflies, dragonflies, lizards, frogs, salamanders). The reserve is also home to a spectacular tuff formation phenomenon, where calcium carbonate deposits create waterfalls and pools of water. The Chalmessin Nature Reserve is a hidden gem that offers a glimpse of France's ancient and diverse landscapes.

This natural wonder is the Tufière de Saint-Ciergues. It is a small tufa formation created by the deposition of limestone on moss, forming a series of small waterfalls. Tuff is a porous stone which gave its name to the site. You can enjoy the view of the tuff and the surrounding forest, but be careful not to step on it, as it is very fragile and needs to be preserved.

This wooden cabin is part of a nature trail in the Chalmessin nature reserve, a protected area that is home to a remarkable tufa marsh and limestone lawn. The cabin has a unique shape, as it is built with inverted oak tree tops that form a natural frame. Next to the hut, there is a reconstruction of a pile of charcoal and some panels that explain the history and work of the charcoal burners. The cabin is located in a wooded valley, where you can enjoy the sounds of nature and observe various plants and animals, such as orchids, sedges, butterflies, dragonflies and lizards. If you want to visit this place, you must follow the directions for the Chalmessin Reserve Discovery Trail.

The Gorges de la Vingeanne are a canyon carved out by the Vingeanne river in the Haute-Marne department in France. This site is part of the Natura 2000 network, which aims to protect biodiversity and natural habitats.

Guided trail in a nature reserve (marsh), super nice!

Chalmessin nature reserve in the heart of the national forest park. You have to walk down the path to get there. There is a car park just before the entrance. The visit is done exclusively on foot and you can discover a real marsh with lots of animal and plant species.
