Le Trou de l’Enfer, c’est une gorge creus\u00e9e dans le granite par le ruisseau Barba : parois resserr\u00e9es, gros blocs \u00e9parpill\u00e9s sur le sentier, cascades mugissantes quand le d\u00e9bit est bon. Le fond reste sombre et frais toute l’ann\u00e9e \u2014 un contraste saisissant si vous arrivez d’une route ensoleill\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Le sentier descend le long du Barba sur environ 200 m\u00e8tres dans la partie la plus encaiss\u00e9e, avant de rejoindre un petit pont qui enjambe le ruisseau. Comptez quelques passages un peu raides sur terrain empierr\u00e9 : chaussures de marche indispensables, poussette impossible.<\/p>\n
Un conseil pratique qui change vraiment la visite : pr\u00e9f\u00e9rez l’acc\u00e8s par la D30 direction R\u00e9haupal, en prenant le chemin de la ferme de Rechaucourt jusqu’\u00e0 l’aire de pique-nique. C’est plus court (circuit d’environ 3,3 km), \u00e7a \u00e9vite l’asphalte, et c’est nettement plus agr\u00e9able pour les familles. Le circuit officiel au d\u00e9part de l’\u00e9glise du Tholy est balis\u00e9 et bien document\u00e9 (7,5 km, 2h30), mais les trois quarts se font sur route goudronn\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Si les cascades sont votre objectif, choisissez votre moment : en \u00e9t\u00e9 sec, le Barba peut se r\u00e9duire \u00e0 un filet d’eau et le spectacle sera maigre. Au printemps, \u00e0 la fonte des neiges, ou apr\u00e8s quelques jours de pluie, c’est une autre affaire.<\/p>\n
Depuis la gorge, une variante peu balis\u00e9e permet de rejoindre les ruines du hameau de Stavagney, abandonn\u00e9 depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Quasiment jamais mentionn\u00e9 sur les panneaux, ce d\u00e9tour donne une tout autre profondeur \u00e0 la balade. Et si les l\u00e9gendes locales vous int\u00e9ressent, renseignez-vous sur le m\u00e9n\u00e9trier qui aurait crois\u00e9, une nuit de retour de noce, un ch\u00e2teau en flammes habit\u00e9 de d\u00e9funts \u2014 l’endroit s’y pr\u00eate.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":6501,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-6511","decouverte-vosges","type-decouverte-vosges","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decouverte-vosges\/6511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decouverte-vosges"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/decouverte-vosges"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
