A pleasant bike ride with my 7-year-old son. We hardly saw anyone, but that didn't matter; we just wanted to get some fresh air.

Clear explanations, perfect distance for an 8-year-old boy. Unfortunately, we encountered a group of irresponsible people with an unleashed dog, which provoked mine.

Taking an alternative route to avoid the road, which is certainly quicker in terms of time.

A very pleasant first part of the route, but a rather disappointing end where you go around a power station.

Very beautiful route except for one spot with a view of a power station. Otherwise, do not follow the yellow markings all the time.
