Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

The route is rideable in both directions. Those who want to simplify the route technically can go up and down via Kriens. The section on the Hergiswil side is gravel in the upper part and relatively steep. The section on the Kriens side is mostly asphalted.

Culinary tip nearby:

**, Hergiswil**

At the Keiser family farm, you can stay overnight in the hay or in the unique little huts. Fine specialties of Swiss cuisine are served at the alpine inn. The menu is usually focused on the utilization of a whole animal.
