The lake is located in a kind of park. Not a soul there.

The house still exists, but the restaurant has closed. A new one has opened in its place.

At Xures, there's only 50 cm left of the almost 2-meter-wide bike path in places. That was the case last year, too. It's a good thing it didn't rain this time, otherwise our shoes would have been soaking wet again.

We were practically alone on this section of the canal. It's also sparsely populated, so you'll have to search for restaurants! At the lock - no one - unless a boat was in the lock. At least we didn't see anyone else.

This year we booked a room. Very comfortable size. We were able to store and charge our bikes in the shed. We only served breakfast; for dinner, we went down to the canal.

There's plenty of space here – the tables are spread far apart. Pleasant shade from the trees.
