A long and beautiful forest road. However, it's bumpy in places on a road bike!

The area is enclosed by huge gates. It is private territory

A truly great forest road through a beautiful forest, a bit bumpy in places (April 2025), but good for rolling (towards Mossey) or leisurely climbing (towards Mt Donon). It was fun!

Two prominent rocks form a great viewing point here. They are connected by a bridge and can be reached via a staircase. On the first rock you will find a panoramic map on the brick parapet. There is a natural bench under this rock. The German command post for this section of the front during the First World War is also located here. It was fortified with reinforced concrete in 1916.
