A beautiful bike route in the Swiss Plateau with views of the Central Swiss Alps and appealing singletrails.

The route is ideal as a short after-work round or if you don't have much time otherwise. It offers great views of Central Switzerland; nearby stands the Landessender Beromünster, which ceased operation at the end of 2008 but still dominates the landscape. The round is technically not very demanding but still offers some nice downhill sections.
