Mountain refuge Cabane de sur Rencenière

GR 5, autonomy and prudent use

It is not appropriate to have immediate water next to the shelter. In the planning of the way through Cabane de sur Rencenière , the nearest reference appears at about 1.75 km, sufficient to take it into account but not to go out without margin. This caution fits well with the nature of this free haven in the Les Terre-de-Chaux , within the Doubs, where the relief is more than half a forest mountain and wavy than of alpine land, with looms and nearby mountains as Montchevriez or Mont Solemont marking the horizon.

His practical interest is mainly in reading the network of itineraries that pass through the area. The GR 5 Jura it gives meaning as a point of support for hiking trails, while travelling as the Tour du Pays de Montbéliard or the RPG of Bornes et Forts expand the options of link, deviation or withdrawal. More than a summit base, it works better as an intermediate coat for those who move several days on signposted roads and need a simple en route resource.

For this user profile, cabane can serve in long days, changes in time or need to fail stages, but with a clear idea: it is not necessary to depend on finding specific services or solved supply there. The altitude, around 653 meters, does not place it in high mountain, although the relative isolation of the environment and the weather of the Jura massif can complicate a day if it is entered late or with poor visibility.

So, the most useful reading of the Cabane de sur Rencenière is a safe haven free of support and possible escape, especially for self-employed trails that follow long routes along Franco Condado. In this type of enclave, water, time and alternative withdrawal weigh more than any ascension approach.
