    The Iron Cross, the highest point of the French Way, is a place of extraordinary charm. Pilgrims use to bring a stone from their homelands and leave it here as a symbol of leaving behind their worries and even their sins.

    At the top of the pass there is a "meal" in the form of a large post marking the highest point. Countless souvenirs and lucky charms from the pilgrims are deposited here. Looks impressive.
