I practically live at the foot of the climb. Therefore often part of my after-work ride. Very pleasant, with little traffic and beautiful views of Lucerne and Lake Lucerne.

Wohne praktisch am Fusse der Steigung. Deshalb öfters auch Teil meiner Feierabendrunde. Sehr gemütlich, da Verkehrsarm und schöne Ausblicke auf Luzern und den Vierwaldstättersee.
