Well, now. Because the rather monotonous cycle and footpath next to the K 26 county road has little to nothing to offer, a highlight is set here: At a cow pasture, you can just about glimpse a silver lining on the horizon to the west. That could be the Great Inland Lake, because a strip of grass can be seen behind it. That doesn't quite make it a highlight.
