Cyclists and hikers are offered a HIGHLIGHT here. I also like the little house when running and thanks to this small detour I managed to run mostly along the canal and at the end to add a small lap into the hinterland.

Here you can take a break and use the seating with a view of the NOK or take the benches for a small stretching or strength unit and also watch the birds and/or ships going about
