    Hiking

    The Pont d'Arc is a natural stone bridge over the Ardèche River in the Ardèche department of southern France. It is 60 meters long, 54 meters high and is located about three kilometers from Vallon-Pont-d'Arc in the direction of Saint-Martin-d'Ardèche.

    The Pont d'Arc was created when the Ardèche broke through the natural barrier of the limestone rock at the narrowest point of a river bend, the Cirque d'Estre, in the Old Pleistocene and drained the Cirque d'Estre.[1] Firmer rock above was not removed, so that the breakthrough was preserved as a stone bridge arch.

    Hiking

    A great hiking trail, the Sentier des Chames, runs on the heights - you come up and down on both sides of the arch

    Old river bed of the Andechs, before it made its way through the stone gate today. Wine is grown here today.
