Restaurant ist ok, but untrained staff are breathtakingly slow. A simple drink order can take half an hour. The boat rental is not cheap, but everything works and the guides where friendly and helpful. Parking was free and toilets are free to enter from inside the restaurant

Parking is 7.50E but you get a credit in your boat or tour price. I took the tour 10E per person. I went early so there weren’t very many people on the canals. Such beauty scenery. A must do!
