A beautiful village, a beautiful monastery with everything around it. The ice cream parlor just around the corner is particularly recommended.

It's not so easy to walk in the city itself. But it's definitely worth seeing.

Relaxed riding along the canal, also great for gravel riding if you like straight roads. Getting up to the bridge is often only possible via stairs or a steep climb.
