A lovely path along the canal... You can often spot waterfowl... the only downside: the path offers little shade.

A lovely rest area with several seating areas not far from the lock... Thanks to the large fish sculpture, you can't miss it.

Dromedaries? While all dromedaries are camels, not all camels are dromedaries. Camels with two humps are not dromedaries (but Bactrian camels)!

Suddenly you come across a herd of camels that a local veterinarian is supposed to keep here.
