I can recommend this alternative to everyone. It is much quieter than the main road, you pass the beautiful old hotel Pax Montana and you also cycle for a bit on a deserted cool forest road in the shade. Just before you join the main road, you cycle over another one of those's old wooden bridges with a roof. The start of this alternative, by the way, does take you through open (possibly hot sunny) meadows where it can get steep.
Dit alternatief kan ik iedereen aanraden. Het is nog veel rustiger dan de hoofdweg, je passeert het prachtige oude hotel Pax Montana en je fiets ook nog een stuk over een verlaten koel bosweggetje in de schaduw. Vlak voordat je aansluit op de hoofdweg, fiets je nog over zo'n oude houten brug met overkapping. Het begin van dit alternatief brengt je overigens wel door open (mogelijk hete zonnige) weilanden waar het steil kan worden.
