An imposing bridge from the old railway.

A pretty iron bridge, built for farmers at the time. Here the path along the water was in a bad state in April 2026 (a warning was installed on one side of the section, but a detour through the forest is possible).

A path often in the shade, well maintained.

The reconstruction is great! But we left some parts in ruins, which preserves the character of an old building.
