Comments

Wheelchairs and strollers see special notes on walk directions. Water and restrooms at the start and along the route. Another opportunity for antique collectors to satisfy your "need", as you will walk past many shops selling antiques located in buildings mostly older than the contents; that sometimes refers to the merchants, too.

Awards and fees: IVV Credit Only
