The footpath on the south bank, opposite the well-known asphalted towpath, takes you along a rather wild wetland.
In one area you can see that the dam of an old canal arch is still visible, but its course was cut off at some point when the waterway was straightened. The old linden trees there (pictures 5+8) are sooo cool.
