Everything about La Br Che De Roland totally explained
La Brèche de Roland (Aragonese
Breca Roldán, Spanish
Brecha de Rolando) is an impressive natural gap, 40 m across and 100 m high, at an altitude of 2804 m in the steep cliffs of the
Cirque de Gavarnie in the
Pyrenees. It forms part of the border between
France and
Spain.
According to legend the Brèche was cut by Earl
Roland (a nephew of
Charlemagne), using sword blows, in an attempt to destroy his sword
Durendal, while attempting to escape the
Saracens (in fact
Basques) during the
Battle of Roncevaux Pass.
The Brèche can be reached from the
Refuge des Sarradets, a nearby mountain shelter, in about an hour's climb.
