칼레도니아 운하 최고의 사이클링 경로

Entering the castle at this strategically important location is currently not possible due to renovation work.

The road north of the lake is very beautiful and secluded, and you can drive along it virtually forever; it certainly feels like forever. You usually have to turn back at some point.

Warning! Steep and uneasy under foot.

Views down the Caledonian Canal.

Excellent local brewery. They also provide tasty hot food and snacks!

NEPTUNE would never have dreamed that he would become the - albeit unofficial - namesake of a building in the Scottish Highlands. After all, he actually comes from somewhere else entirely, namely the Mediterranean. His name stands for the pre-Christian myths of antiquity, of which the numerous Greek and Roman deities in particular have been preserved in the collective memory of humanity - at least in Europe. However, the fact that a water structure with the eight locks found here bears his name "Neptune's Staircase" is entirely justified: In Roman mythology, NEPTUNE is the god of the sea, and in Greek mythology his counterpart is POSEIDON.

Hotel and cafe located right where the gondola starts. The trail going up is pretty bad. Most of it is for bikes coming down, and signs tell you not to walk there.

An incredibly beautiful river that naturally meanders through the valley. I like to linger and pause at every bend.
