It's a shame, asphalt would be nicer, and there's a direct connection across the border to France. Here we continue on a nice surface.

The old railway bed between Langgeleedstraat and Duinhoekstraat has been repurposed. Many recreational cyclists and hikers can now take a gravel path that provides a direct connection to the French border at Bray-Dune.
