The tour was OK. Mostly good but very narrow cycle paths. You have to keep an eye on what's going on in front of and behind you! Nice restaurants along the way. (I had to reset once because Komot gave my average speed as 234 km/h. I was a bit slower)

Worth repeating, there are many beautiful roads.
