A fantastic cycling route all around. There's plenty of beautiful scenery and information panels. Several locks are located along the way, and there are plenty of nice places to sit. With a bit of luck, you might even spot deer 🦌 in the distance.

There's lots of information available near the ferry landing, so a visit is highly recommended. There are also great places to sit and a shelter.
