O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Staza prati trasu starog kanala Glamorganšir i nekadašnje pruge Taff Vej preko 55 milja uglavnom ravnog terena. Oko dva miliona vožnji biciklom dogodi se na njoj svake godine, a možete da pedalate od mora u Kardif Beju do brda Brekon a da se nikada ne podelite put sa automobilima.

Istaknuto: Odmah iza Pontiprida, staza ulazi u niz napuštenih železničkih tunela, gde temperatura trenutno opadne, a vaš glas odjekuje od krivina tamne cigle. Ponesite malo svetlo i osetićete tačno mesto gde je stara parna pruga probila brdo 1841. godine.

Insajderski saveti

Start at Cardiff Bay and ride against the prevailing wind so the return trip feels easier.
Bring a waterproof layer even in summer, the riverside path gets splashed and sudden showers are common.
Stop at Castell Coch for a photo, the fairytale castle appears right beside the trail mid-route.
Watch for the hidden viaduct arches near Pontypridd where the old railway route cuts through shadowy stone.
