The routes encompass both tarmac and gravel surfaces, with no steep climbs. You'll find yourself on dedicated bike paths as well as quiet streets with minimal traffic. While the terrain itself isn't overly challenging, the duration of the trip can be demanding. It's essential to ensure you are comfortable with long periods of cycling and can handle sitting in the saddle for consecutive days.
