Roc des Ecus, Mountain summit and viewpoint in Lacaune, France.
The Roc des Ecus rises within the Parc naturel régional du Haut-Languedoc, offering views across the Tarn department and surrounding mountain ranges.
The geological formation of Roc des Ecus dates back to ancient tectonic movements that shaped the Montagne Noire and Lacaune mountains during the Hercynian orogeny.
Local shepherds traditionally used the Roc des Ecus summit as a reference point while guiding their flocks through the mountain paths of Lacaune.
Visitors can access the summit via a 10-kilometer marked trail from Lacaune, with an elevation gain of 403 meters through beech forests and mountain paths.
The summit contains distinct rock formations that create natural stone corridors, leading hikers through passages between granite blocks toward the observation point.
