Radtour Radurlaub entlang der Maas

Mixed weather with both sun, clouds and rain. The latter came luckily during our visit of the castle in Sedan. Temperatures of about 20 to 22°C. Light winds.

Minor tarmac roads out of Inor. Very poor tarmac (route deformée!) up a steep hill out of Letanne, but luckily fine tarmac on the way down to Mouzon. Here the Voie Verte Trans Ardennes (The green Road Through the Ardennes) starts. This is a dream of a cycling path, which we follow for a day and a half. It's tarmaced, smooth and even, without  tree roots, it follows the river or the canal closely and is lavishly signposted. Yipee!

The planned route is closely followed, except in Sedan, where we cycle up to the fortress and down to the river again. In Charleville a map reading blunder on my behalf sends us past a set of stairs to a cycling path along a railway bridge, so that demanded a little detour.
