Very busy on weekends. The circular route is completely paved.

Edit: The dam was badly damaged by the events around the flood. The circular route is currently not possible because the new drain has been cut into the dam.

The tour leads over mostly paved paths, but since there are also unpaved roads, I do not recommend the route for inline riders. On the way back there are also roads that are not very busy. My companion rode the route on a city bike.
