사우스 힝시 최고의 러닝 경로

강과 운하가 국토를 가로지르며, 특히 후자는 옛날에는 교통 인프라의 매우 중요한 부분이었습니다. 나중에 먼저 철도가, 그리고 더 나중에 트럭이 화물 운송의 임무를 맡았습니다. 다양한 교통수단 간의 경쟁에서 그들은 바지선에 비해 빠르고 저렴했으며 – 따라서 더 효율적이었습니다. 그러나 인공 수로 건설 시에는 항상 높이 차이를 극복해야 한다는 점을 고려해야 했으며, 따라서 운하를 따라 – 현장 상황에 따라 더 많거나 적은 간격으로 – 종종 수문이 늘어섭니다. 그들의 도움으로만 항해가 가능했습니다.

A wonderful running route along the canal with pretty houseboats, there is almost always rowing on the canal 😃

There's a J.R.R. Tolkien park bench!

Beware on the cyclepath alongside the canal. You meet quite big groups of pedestrians, and dog walkers too. Some aren't very pleased to share with cyclists, so be friendly.

beautiful in autumn

The Carfax Tower offers the best view of Oxford. The stairs to the top are quite narrow and not suitable for people with claustrophobia.

In 2012, Lisa Kuppler (Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung) paid tribute to the writer J.R.R. TOLKIEN (1892 to 1973), who invented a fictional world called Middle Earth inhabited by 'hobbits', with the words: "It is this complex creation of an entire world that makes 'The Lord of the Rings' the original text of the fantasy genre." Two decades earlier - on the occasion of his 100th birthday - a bench and two trees were dedicated to him here, in Oxford's university park. Tolkien's most popular work to date includes the volumes: "The Fellowship of the Ring" (Volume 1); "The Two Towers" (Volume 2); "The Return of the King" (Volume 3). Many people may not have read his books, but they know the film version of this great myth.

Beautiful parks that invite you to linger.
