Tips

Cycling

There are gravel paths on both sides of the canal, which are good for cycling or hiking, at least as long as you don't have tires that are too thin, such as some racing bikes. Since the canal runs significantly higher than the surrounding landscape, you usually have a beautiful and wide view here.

Gravel riding

Relaxed riding along the canal, also great for gravel riding if you like straight roads. Getting up to the bridge is often only possible via stairs or a steep climb.
