Highlight • Mountain Pass

Good topping. Tip for long-distance drivers: In about 100m there is a wooden bench that invites you to rest.

View of Creux du Van

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pretty cool, the background with the Creux du Van.
The beautiful photo spot is somewhat hidden and not very attractively located next to a parking lot with garages.
