French Fort

At the top of the karst peak that overlooks central Dong Van are the dramatic ruins of a French fort. It's possible to scale the peak, using the path that starts just east of the old market square. It's a sweaty half-hour to the top, from where you're rewarded with stunning views of the town and the patchwork of rice fields and peaks that hem it.
