Completely Flat Terrain
No hills or steep sections. The entire 40-kilometre route follows the river valley with consistent, easy-to-manage gradients. You can ride at your own pace without worrying about challenging climbs.
Safe, Dedicated Path
Separated from traffic. The Blueway is its own cycling route, so you're not sharing with cars. Wide enough for passing other cyclists comfortably, and well-maintained throughout.
Beautiful Scenery
Rolling riverside views the entire way. Historic villages, quiet sections where you'll see wildlife, and plenty of spots to stop for photos or a rest without feeling rushed.
