Two hundred meters to the north, the "German" and "French" Nied flow together. From there on, it is simply called Nied. The path there is not suitable for racing bikes, however.

There are two benches in front of the chapel. Good opportunity for a break.

The road meanders through the forest and over a ridge. When the weather is nice, you have a great view there.
