Take a break at the edge of this 160-hectare body of water and admire the yachts and boats. A quiet place to enjoy the lake and relax on your walk.

Nelson Mandela Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

A beautiful footbridge leads to the towpath. From there, it's a long, straight stretch to the Herbens Bridge. A pleasant walk in good weather.

Back with a leisurely ride on my electric mountain bike after a two-week break.
Well, it's okay, I didn't lose too much power; the motor was only used on singletrack and trails in the woods...
It was smooth.
