Pont de l'Épée

Highlight • Other

The Pont de l'Épée bridge spans the Ain river. When the sun is at its zenith, the color of the water is magnificent. The view of the river and the weir located downstream deserves a short break.

August 29, 2022,Auf den Spuren der Dinosaurier 🦕🦖 Lac Chalain Runde von Campagnole 🇫🇷🍀☀️🚵‍♂️

For the first 5km there is a stretch with an incline of about 20%, this is a slight climb similar to a velcro climb in rocky terrain. Surefootedness and good physical condition required.
The rest of the way doable.......
