Magnificent restored castle of human size that can be visited.

The entire greenway is very well done on gravel. It's a really pleasant path running alongside ponds. It's not as boring as some concrete cycle paths.

This is a magnificent mill that is three centuries old. It stopped grinding in 1925 and has had other uses using hydraulic power. The whole is kept in good condition and is worth a visit.
