"The Mittelland Canal is always a good option!" 😉 The roads here are also much better and easier to navigate.

Nice smooth asphalt - I would recommend checking whether H96 has a home game - it can get quite crowded

A fast, well-paved cycle path right by the water. On public holidays, however, there is a lot of slower traffic and there is always a lot going on near the Ihmezentrum when the sun is shining. In winter, the path is sometimes closed due to flooding, so be careful.
