September 3, 2024,Afwisselende wandelroute vanaf de camping in Merry-sur-Yonne, lange broek soms handig i.v.m. bramenstruiken aan het einde.

Wanted to make this walk public but the time and distance were adjusted. Time was around 2:15 hours and 9.32 km. Incl. looking around at the rocks where climbing is done, taking pictures etc. I shortened the longer Komoot route. A straight piece along the canal was now long enough for me. This makes it a nice varied route.
