Das Eiserne Kreuz markiert den höchsten Punkt des Passes und ist zu dem Ort geworden, an dem Pilger auf der ganzen Welt einen Stein zurücklassen, den sie von zu Hause oder von einem anderen Ort auf dem Camino mitgebracht haben.

Foncebadon is much closer, but if you stay in Rabanal, you get the benefit of the coral service done by the Benedictine monks there. In the US we call that a double hitter.

It takes two hours to get to the Cruz Ferro. For me, in September, I got up and was on the road by six and made it there in plenty of time. Your weather app will tell you when first light is and win, sunrise is

If you can do it, I highly recommend you arrive by sunrise where it is simply gorgeous, and of course, there are no crowds

Staying in Foncebadon makes it easier to get to the cross early. Leave your burdens at the base of the cross. No facilities. Be extra careful going down to town from there. Beautiful route!

Recommend bringing a rock from home and leaving it here to release whatever it represents. There was a lineup of pilgrims wanting pictures, just wait your turn and take your moment.

If you want to walk to Cruz de Ferro to watch the sunrise from there, sleep in Foncebadon. If you sleep in Rabanal, you will take 2h to reach Cruz de Ferro and the way is through the forest which isn’t easy and nice in the dark.

If you want to see the sunrise the ideal spot is on the trail to Cruz de Ferro and not at the cross itself
