I'll put it this way: the entire area along the path (asphalted) is determined by the Lippe river. Anyone who wants to linger here can do so in peace in nature, without any sales outlets. You'll look in vain for cafés or other establishments along the path. Incidentally, I don't think that's bad either.

The view is debatable. But since there are several options nearby for cyclists and walkers to branch off in different directions, the path itself is at least a tip. Away from car traffic.
