Bunnik - Cothen

Now out of the heavily populated West, this is the first leg we can follow the Rhine over footpaths and cyclelanes, the full 19 kilometers. The route lead to Rijswijk, but than we would have trouble getting back: it would be a long trip by bus. Se we decided tp stop early: Could have continued to Wijk Bij Duurstede, another 5 kilometers; considered not feasible.
