A beautiful view of the Resson plateau. The problem was that we stumbled upon a deer hunt, which the hunters hadn’t warned us about. We changed our route. At the cross, we turned left and then left again 300 metres further along the edge of the woodland.

Best regards

360-degree view: limited visibility and a very specific location.
