Pic de Douly
Departement des Hautes-Pyrénées, Midi-Pyrénées, France
The highest military cemetery in Europe. 7 graves, 1 Canadian 6 English crashed here in July 1944. The people of Nistos buried them in what is now a cemetery, with graves next to remains of the Halifax.
To get to this site, go to Haut Nistos, turn left at the "Canadian cemetery" sign, about 4 km of hairpin bends further after a "Canadian" crossing, park the car; another sign indicates the forest path on the left. Arrived on a plateau, either go around the mountain to the cemetery following a third sign (about 45 min) or go up immediately to the right towards the Pic de Douly itself. From the parking lot, this hike takes about an hour. .
