Start I put on the Magglingenbahn to save me the first altitude. Parking in front of the valley station. The goal was to rock the Magglingen downhill at the end, which unfortunately was a bit different, as the rainy weather overtook me. From Magglingen I found a great S1 single trail, slightly uphill, which then brought me further on farm roads to Nods. There, the climb began on a side street to the Chasseral-Gastahaus and on to the big (ugly) summit tower. From there began the real fun. Before the heavy entry behind the tower once again enjoyed the special panoramic view. In the north of the Black Forest and Vosges, northeast and southwest of the Jura mountains and in the southeast the gigantic alpine chain with the upstream lakes: Lake Neuchâtel, Bielersee with Aareeintritt and Murtensee.
After the S3 / S4 entry, it will be the same flowig and always wavy. From the place Centrale I lose the trail on the Crete and drove slightly below the farm road. Soon I was back on track until the beginning of the Geissrückens. One last, steep section with S2 and some S3 places. For me pure fun, unfortunately, then caught me on the valley floor, the rain, so I preferred the Taubenlochschlucht to return (attention Radverbot) Carefully, halfway I cautiously sneaked through the beautiful, narrow gorge to Biel
