Just wide enough to pass oncoming traffic. Nice gravel, a bit meandering through the trees and all the time along the Defense Canal.

Historical context: The Defense Canal, or Peel Canal, was dug in the Peel region in 1939, starting at Griendtsveen, as part of the Peel-Raam Line. The canal extends to the Raam, a small river above Mill. It served as a drainage canal and anti-tank ditch, which is why it was soon called the Defense Canal.
