Very beautiful, long climb through an idyllic valley. There is still a lot of traffic at the start, but it becomes increasingly quieter. On the left you have a beautiful view of the ruins of Neu-Falkenstein Castle. The ascent leads through meadows and pastures and partly through the forest. There is usually a hard shoulder for bicycles. I recommend the extension via Langenbruck to Breitenhöchi or the descent via Bärenwil and the Teufelsschlucht gorge to Hägendorf.... read more

Sehr schöner, langer Anstieg durch ein idyllisches Tal. Am Anfang ist noch recht viel Verkehr, doch es wird zunehmend ruhiger. Zur linken hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Ruine Schloss Neu-Falkenstein. Der Anstieg führt durch Wiesen und Weiden und teils durch den Wald. Meist hat man einen Seitenstreifen für Fahrräder zur Verfügung. Ich empfehle die Verlängerung über Langenbruck auf den Breitenhöchi oder auch die Abfahrt über Bärenwil und die Teufelsschlucht nach Hägendorf.
