On the way to the airport in Strasbourg for my flight back to Bergen, I convinced an old friend and colleague to go for a drive to Champ du Feu - the highest point of the Lower Rhine. We started out in heavy rain, but it more or less cleared up as we started our ascent. We parked at a designated area just south of the roundabout and completed the remaining short distance on foot. The summit area contained a large observation tower but as it looked to be in need of repair we did not attempt to ascend to the top of it. As a result the views were quite limited, but thankfully the drive up had been very nice and with several hints of the views we perhaps could have obtained from the tower.
