impressive, the tunnels on this route - but very cold in spring, certainly quite pleasant in summer.

The asphalt is superb to ride on and a fantastic experience when you cycle through the tunnels. Perfect for road bikes – but be careful: When you change sides of the bike path, you have to cross the tracks! When it's hot, the tunnels offer a welcome cooling-off point.
