Very nice photo motif. In summer, the tuff cascades are pretty crowded, but offer great cooling on hot days.

Nice railway line cycle path, here with good asphalt. But here too, unfortunately, with permitted local traffic, although I didn't see anything to the right or left where local residents wanted to go.
