Tips from the Community
A magnificent spot with the road winding under the rock, running alongside a partially underground stream. It's both breathtaking and peaceful. Plus, there's a starting point for a short walk; I did the beginning and it was lovely: I'd love to come back and do a longer section!

This is the longest tunnel on the greenway: it's super fun to go through. Be careful: it's a bit chilly!

A very beautiful viaduct, it's a bit impressive and truly unusual on a greenway. The train used to go there, now the bikes go there!

Beautiful cave and at the northern exit there is even a waterfall and another picnic area (in the shade, more for summer, in winter we prefer to picnic at the southern exit!)
