The forest at the top gives way to scree on the slopes. The view over Saint-Léonard-des-Bois is well worth the trek up to its 216-metre summit.

Perhaps the small botanical problem only exists in the German translation that the komoot system displays via Google, but: The highlight name refers to an "oak," but the text then refers to a "mammoth tree." But aside from this minor linguistic confusion, a beautiful carving can be found at this point in the forest.
