The giant's resting place. Tombeau du Géant in Bouillon, Belgium
Tombeau du Géant in Bouillon, Belgium, offers a picturesque panorama for those who make the journey to see it. The Giant's Tomb, as the hill is known in English, resembles a giant resting in the crook of the over 200-kilometre-long Semois River. The name originates from a local legend about a Gallic giant, Treviso, who chose to leap off the cliffs of Rocher des Gattes rather than be captured by Roman soldiers. This vantage point, popular among hikers and road-trippers, provides a view that shifts dramatically with the seasons. During autumn, the landscape dons warm colours, as seen in today's image, making it an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts and photographers.
While here, you might want to explore Bouillon, a place that invites you to step back in time. It's famous for its medieval castle, Château de Bouillon, once home to Godfrey of Bouillon, a leader of the First Crusade. Visitors can explore the tunnels and towers of the castle, imagining what life was like during the Middle Ages.
