Nice stretch along the canal. Very relaxing when it's not Sunday and the sun is shining, because then this channel is very busy.

Art on the Canal – Jacob’s Ladder

Highlight • Monument

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.
