It's wonderful to cycle along the canal here. It's not for racing, but ideal for leisurely bike rides. The fact that there are a few more or less successful works of art along the way is a nice bonus.

The Black 7, eastern section! 😃 A large portion of the trail has been lost or significantly widened due to tractors and harvesters. Caution: This makes it difficult to ride during muddy seasons.
