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.
