Frequently asked questions

Is the route manageable with a buggy?

Large parts of the route are flat and well paved, so a buggy is usually not a problem. For the ferry crossing and a few lanes, we agree the exact route with you beforehand.

How long can children walk at a stretch?

The stages are kept deliberately short, with breaks for playing and asking questions. The pace follows the group, not the other way round.

Is the river ferry crossing included in the price?

The ferry ticket is not included in the guiding fee and is paid on the spot.
