1. Viewpoint

A viewpoint is a designated place where travellers can stop or visit to enjoy a scenic view of the surrounding landscape. Viewpoints are often located along mountain roads, coastal routes, river valleys or other areas of natural or cultural interest.

A viewpoint may include parking, a viewing platform, benches, information panels or other visitor facilities. Tourist or direction signs may be used to guide travellers toward the site.

Is there a specific Belgian road sign for a viewpoint?

No dedicated standalone traffic sign specifically called a viewpoint is defined in the current Belgian Road Code. Scenic locations may instead be indicated through tourist direction signage.

Which Belgian signs can direct drivers toward a scenic viewpoint?

The F33c advance-direction sign and F35 direction sign can be used for tourist destinations such as a remarkable landscape, which may include an important scenic viewpoint.

Can a symbol be used for a scenic location in Belgium?

Yes. The S.35 symbol can represent a monument or remarkable landscape using a specific depiction of the attraction or landscape.
