Grand Central Stones

Highlight • Monument

Here are samples of thirteen different stones that were used in the construction of Grand Central Station in New York at the beginning of the 20th century. The small pillars were set up to study the effects of the elements and the New York winter. Two were then selected for construction. More interesting information can be found on a board on site. You just have to go...

South County Trailway

Highlight • Cycleway

Actually a very long bike path, which merges into the North County Traiway in the north. Rammed, you can cycle many tens of kilometers undisturbed through beautiful nature. Pure enjoyment.

I hope you won't need it, but it's good to know where to find tools and air pump.

Van Cortlandt Greenway

The path is also easy to navigate in the summer heat, as it is nice and shady and often close to cooling water.

Entrance to the Van Cortlandt Park Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you finally leave New York City and the actual bike tour can begin. The well-developed cycle path takes you through nature and only a few villages to Albany (if you want :-) ). From time to time you can buy food and, above all, use the tools and air pump of the numerous self-service bike stations.
