Walking near this trout river is pleasant in July: the sound of water, greenery and shade when the surrounding fields are scorched by the sun. However, the last part of the path (500 m before returning to the access trail not far from the underpass) was completely overgrown with tall grass, making it rather difficult and painful to walk.
