The riverside path is easy to navigate throughout - and the elevation is low. It's great that the hiking and cycling paths are separate. There are plenty of restaurants on site. A trip to the surrounding villages is also worthwhile.

Once again a nice tour with great bike paths. The route is like the Nordschleife, with hills and curves. But unique routes through forest areas, and 95% separated from pedestrians.
