I had the pleasure of eating not-quite-ripe mirabelle plums. They come in yellow and red and, depending on their ripeness, taste from sour to sweet. On my bike ride, I found several large, shrub-like trees at Voje Verte. They were so full of fruit that the branches were blown down.

A rest area at the train station. There's more than just tables and benches here, plus a nice place to linger.

From here, the Greenway runs through beautiful valley landscapes. It's also worth taking a turn to the right and left through the villages and leaving the Greenway for that.
