Tips

If you take a closer look while riding, or are just wondering...the countless small pieces of glass permanently scattered on the bike path aren't the result of boozy Father's Day rides with handcarts, but rather...vast amounts of additional broken glass were actually used in the construction of the dams on both sides. However, the small pieces had previously been smoothed through recycling and were/are no longer sharp. Just pay attention; they're lying around everywhere.

Actually there isn't much to say. It's always good to drive along the canal and you can watch the ships.

Very well-developed cycle paths on both sides of the canal feature a fine, compact surface. The former broken glass is barely visible anymore.
