Beautiful bike route from Glarus over Siebnen, Vorderloch, Rossweidhöchi with a long descent through the Niederurner valley.

The ascent is long but manageable. First on paved side roads, later on gravel roads the path steadily goes upwards. Before the border crossing on Rossweidhöchi, you have to carry or push the bike for about 500 meters because the ground is swampy. Then the road leads first on gravel, later from Mettmen on paved road back down into the valley.
