チュニジアの天然記念物・トップ18

Oil was once drilled here, and since then, thermal water has been bubbling up from the ground. It's a wonderful experience to bathe in the warm water here on a cold desert night. Unfortunately, it smells strongly of sulfur, and the number of visitors has increased significantly. Anyone seeking peace and solitude in the desert will not find it here.

Relaxing water good for the skin

This astonishing site immerses you in the world of traditional salt harvesting on the island of Kerkennah. Located on the edge of the salt marshes, the Maison du Sel offers a magical, almost fairytale-like panorama—it's as if you're at Christmas with this all-white landscape. Visitors can discover a multitude of artisanal salt-based products, explained with passion, and leave with some genuine local treasures. A peaceful stop, immersed in nature, expertise, and living history. If Hedi and his colleague are on site to provide you with explanations, simply call them at 00216 26124008.

The asphalt is mostly good and not too rough. Traffic is limited. Very good TT track that is a lot of fun.

An overwhelming mountain pass, not many have made such a huge impression on me. The attraction here lies in the high limestone cliffs that fall over 600m onto a deep desert plain and whose colors come across magnificently. With every meter covered, new, great views emerge. The asphalt is quite new on the upper section (2025) and even smooth (in Tunisia this is otherwise almost only the case on large main roads). Only the lower 2km are not in good condition, but it is quite flat there. The climb is demanding, in less than 6km there is over 600 meters of elevation. I rode downhill here (towards the south) and did a big, fascinating round trip via the west back to Redeyef. The entire tour is set out in sections as a highlight. If you do it the other way around, you only have the steep climb here, otherwise you almost only ride downhill. A little further east is another pass, which for reasons that cannot be researched is also known as the "Rommelpiste" among expedition vehicle and motorcycle travelers. Since the pass was neither built by the German Wehrmacht nor played a significant role for the Afrika Korps, the name is rather inappropriate. The track or pass is unpaved and not really suitable for racing cyclists.

When the wind is calm, it is wonderful for swimming, diving or jumping, especially in the early morning hours. Caution is advised!

The palm trees are supplied with water via a small aqueduct.

There are several great diving spots around the cape. To share with traces from antiquity🤿
