In principle, the cycle path is routed over routes that are not heavily loaded with motor vehicle traffic. Except in the many passages through touristically interesting places, the route mostly runs through nature and away from the roads. In many regions the paths are already very well developed. However, some of the road surfaces are still unpaved.
