Fine Pierre de Plainevaux
Fine Pierre de Plainevaux submitted by Alta-Falisa : April 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A thin rock outcrop : a touristic destination since several decades, now also a target for Geocaching.

The starting point is (50.5253, 5.5234), where you can leave you car on the edge of the road, called Rue Fine Pierre ("Thin Stone Road").
Then, walk uphill for 100 m on well marked path : you won't be the first to visit the Fine Pierre, several old postcards attest of its popularity.
I didn't measure the exact coordinates of the spot, but you cannot possibly miss it.
About 500 m to the North, there is also a Rue Grosse Pierre ("Big/Thick Stone Road), for which I have no data.

Fine Pierre de Plainevaux submitted by Alta-Falisa : Chronological suite # 1. Judging by style of the photo and the caps people wear, could be (tentatively) dated to the 1930's. (Vote or comment on this photo)
