Shelter of the observatory's sighting mark

Highlight • Other

An intriguing shelter inside which you can find 2 things: A remnant of a spyglass? (this is my guess) and a geocache.

December 31, 2024,Mont Macaron Runde von Tourrette-Levens

A very varied and quite strenuous tour.
At the beginning it goes up very steeply for a long time. The second part is comparatively steep downhill on gravel and slippery stones.
Nevertheless: there are wonderful views in all directions, all the way to the sea and the mountains, and climbing around in the castle ruins is of course also fun. …

Very beautiful hike, accessible, historic, around Mont Macaron, in the Nice hinterland.
You can enhance this loop by entering the ruins of Chateauneuf Villevieille, if you wish!
Stay safe and wear good shoes!!!
