CIRCUIT POUSSETTE DE FERDRUPT

3.4 km loop circuit. Duration: 1h45. Start: Ferdrupt town hall. A pastoral trail through a charming village. 1. Turn away from the town hall and face the main road. Turn right towards the red bridge over the Moselle (Pont de Libauxaire). 2. Follow the "Voie Verte" sign to the left and cross the bridge. Continue straight ahead. 3. You will come to a junction of 3 roads: take the middle one straight ahead (do not follow the signs for "Xoarupt" on the left or "Voie Verte" on the right). 4. At the end of the road, go straight on for 20 meters to join the Voie Verte at hydrant no. 26. Do not turn left into "Rue de la Libération". Go straight along the left-hand side of the house. 5. Follow the cycle path on the left (Voie Verte sign). There is a small slope on the left to join the Voie Verte without skipping a step. 6. You'll then see a cow park on the right. On the left-hand edge of the cycle path, you may see chickens and ducks. 7. The Voie Verte then crosses a road. Go straight ahead on the cycle path. In July and August, you can picnic on the left at a bend in the Moselle which forms a small lake. 8. Pass a large meadow on the left. 500 m further on, leave the Voie Verte and turn left at a small garden onto the dirt track at the "except cyclists" sign. This is communal land and is suitable for baby carriages. 9. At the left-hand bend, go straight ahead and cross the small footbridge. 10. Continue straight ahead, keeping to the path (private meadows on either side). This brings you to the Ferdrupt bridge over the Moselle. Ducks are often seen here in summer. 11. Cross the bridge to join the main road. Take the crosswalk before heading straight ahead on the "Chemin des Briseux". A gentle 3-step climb up to the asphalt road then begins. 12. A little further on, on your left, at number 24, you'll see an original mailbox in the shape of a bee (for home honey sales). 13. At the next crossroads, continue straight ahead and don't turn left into the cul-de-sac. The road climbs slightly uphill (level 2) before a flat area and then a final climb (level 3). At the top of the hill, you'll find a lovely view of the village on your left. 14. You will then come to a bend in the road. Turn left down the road. There's a small playground on the left for children to enjoy. 15. Follow the road straight ahead. At number 3, on the right, you'll see a house that is particularly full of flowers in summer. This is the Jardin des Baussottes, a garden dedicated to conifers (guided tour by appointment). 16. At the "STOP" sign, take the road down to the left to reach the town hall.
