Beautiful pond with an incredible number of fishermen during the season. Drive slowly to avoid scaring the fish :-)))

[In Advent] "we hear in the Gospel the beginning of the ministry of Saint JEAN BAPTIST. He appears in the desert and calls people to conversion so that they may prepare for the coming of the Lord. His call reminds us that Advent is not only a time of waiting, but also of interior preparation. "Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths" (Luke 3:4). John's message challenges us to examine our lives. What "rough paths" and "crooked roads" are there in our hearts? Where have we perhaps distanced ourselves from God or lost sight of our fellow human beings? John invites us to remove these obstacles and reorient our lives. But his call has not only a personal dimension, but also a social one: the way of the Lord is a way of justice, peace and reconciliation. When we pave the way of the Lord, we bring light into the darkness of the world and hope into the hearts of people." (Text: Michael Inden, Diocesan President of the KAB in the Archdiocese of Cologne)

The river flows through the narrow rocky chaos: it almost feels like you are in the mountains.

Delightful cycle path that winds along the edge of varied reliefs and undergrowth: a real pleasure! To be done at moderate speed, there are quite a few roots.

Beautiful view of the castle and its park. Several single tracks around the estate are perfect for exploring the surrounding woods.

In the Rambouillet forest, the Tour pond is a body of water not to be missed. A good place to take a break in the middle of a bike ride. It is fed by the Drouette.
