The Pas Destrech Cross, which the biker encounters here at the top, is a truly remarkable small sacred monument. Approaching it from behind, it appears to be made of black metal, but then you realize that this is only the basic framework for the wooden beams of the actual cross. Its shape is also rather unusual for a summit cross: the longitudinal and transverse beams, which are of equal length, are each provided with another short beam at the end, giving the viewer the impression of a square floor plan.
