August 11, 2024,von Decize den Canal de Nivernais entlang und zurück 4

My tour today went from Decize to Chatillion en Bazois
Unfortunately Komoot interrupted the trip several times, so I recorded the tour in 5 stages
As it was 32°C today, I took a leisurely ride along the Canal de Nivernais, a really great route along the canal with lovely picnic spots in the shade
