    Schöne Rundtour, überwiegend Radwege, auch gute Einkehrmöglichkeiten sind vorhanden. Eine gewaltige Steigung ist aber zu absolvieren, die nur gut trainierte Radler oder E Biker nett finden, dafür ist der Rest der Strecke eher entspannt, solange es am Kanal keinen Gegenwind gibt. Sehr empfehlenswert! Danke

    Sehr schöne Radtour, Landschaft perfekt, aber sehr viele Steigungen und Berge, wir fanden die Tour schon nicht mehr leicht. Für Kinder ungeeignet.
