What a magnificent view! The steep wine terraces of Lavaux, which seem to plunge directly into Lake Geneva, are unique in the world and are not without reason a UNESCO World Heritage site. More information can be found here: https://www.montreuxriviera.com/fr/G90/visiter-lavaux

Along the road, a rare picnic spot: I don't know many with a well. A lovely spot for a break.
