Quite narrow in places, good scenery

Towpath is usually in pretty good condition for most of the year. Probably not all suitable for a road bike but anything with 40mm or above tyres is going to be fine.

Such a towpath (known in German as a towpath or Leinpfad), which runs alongside the river or canal, was an essential part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move by motor power, horses walked along the bank, pulling the boat against the current. This activity was called "treideln" in German, and thus the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths – running directly along the bank – have survived to this day, they no longer serve their original purpose, but are still popular: namely, with hikers and cyclists.
