July 22, 2021,Hochsavoyen - Sanfter Roller zum Cirque du Fer a Cheval

Today I had to take it easy and so I drove lightly to the end of the valley using the crank. This is limited by the Cirque du Fer a Cheval. It is a huge rock basin and an Eldorado for hikers. Enormous waterfalls come down everywhere. Absolutely a natural spectacle. So I let myself have a "day of rest".
