The canal is easily navigable on both sides, but it is not sensible to change sides at all bridges in order to drive on the canal again, e.g. on this😉

Carefree cycling is possible here ... especially great from summer evenings

Mountain biking

115 km on the western bank path in the morning and 115 km on the eastern bank path in the afternoon. So you usually have sun when there is otherwise a fresh cold wind blowing. There is always something to see, even if the path is flat and mostly straight.
