スラムのおすすめランニングルート

川や運河が国土を縦横に走っています。なぜなら、特に産業革命の初期には、交通インフラの非常に重要な要素だったからです。結局のところ、工場はこれまで知られていなかったほどの大量の原材料の供給を必要としており、完成品も商人への道をたどる必要がありました。運河の多くはこの時代に起源を持っています。その後、最初は鉄道が、さらに後にはトラックが商品の輸送を引き継ぎました。 人工水路の建設や河川の航行を可能にする際には、常に標高差を克服する必要があることを考慮する必要がありました。そのため、運河や河川に沿って、その場所の状況に応じて、多かれ少なかれ大きな間隔で、多くの場合、水門が並んでいます。水門の助けなしには、航行は不可能でした。

Not a gravel riding track. Only suitable for mountain bikes due to the road conditions, big rocks, and large potholes. If you must ride a gravel bike here, do not cruise and always go slowly.

Saint NICHOLAS, Bishop of Myra, to whom this church is dedicated, is one of the most popular saints of all - along with Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours in France. Almost every child knows his commemoration day in the calendar of saints, December 6th. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots - which had of course been carefully polished - in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put a small gift of food out for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).

Although a church has stood here since the 13th century, this one dates from the 1830s after the original building was taken down. It is said that Queen Anne and Queen Mary worshipped here as parishioners before being crowned.
