The summit of Narion requires you to branch off from the main path. But this little detour is doubly worth it. Firstly because it offers an admirable view of the southern Vosges and then because its summit rock is remarkable.
If this isn't a perfect spot for a nap or a picnic, I don't know what is.

Le Narion is a peak in the northern Vosges (Vosges) in the French department of Bas-Rhin. Depending on the source, the mountain has an altitude of 998m or often 999m. It is located one kilometer west of the Rocher de Mutzig (1010m), which separates it from the Col du Narion (922m). In the west, 700m away is Le Noll (990m), which is more of a forepeak of Le Narion, as there is a plateau between the two hills and the deepest saddle has a height of 973m - which corresponds to a lumpy height from Le Noll 17m.
Le Narion is surrounded by deep forests on all sides, and only its summit area, the plateau towards Le Noll and the uppermost northern slopes have been treeless since December 26, 1999, when Hurricane Lothar felled all the trees here. The summit itself is a 2m high sandstone block that stands on the summit plateau and can be easily climbed with simple climbing (Rock I; T3). In the north, a forest path leads close to the summit, and finally you have to climb without a path through the rubble of rotting trees (T1-2). From the south, a forest aisle leads 400 meters directly and steeply to the summit. Some traces of the path can be seen, but the most beautiful climb to Le Narion is rarely attempted.

Beautiful summit with a wonderful panoramic view... however, the way up is mostly pathless and difficult to find... currently the western descent is very overgrown with tall grass...
