Trail Reviews
It is a leisurely lap that we can highly recommend with children. But we recommend running the lap in the opposite direction. We had our little one with us on a balance bike. If you run in the opposite direction, the first meters are only slightly uphill. That motivates the kids and at the lower end is the first playground. Further down the path is a small slide etc. There are always small stations in between the playgrounds. Hence our tip the other way around. Of course I have to say that we were out and about at -2 degrees and in fog. :-)
