NB! You walk a lot in open areas, without shelter. Better not when it's very hot! Other than that, a nice walk!

Very nice road, a few farms and very, very rarely traffic! Great for learning to ride a bike with children or just having fun and enjoying the scenery!

(Not to be confused with Trachselwald Castle nearby!) The sleep lock is in the tower. We stayed and had breakfast well and cheaply. Next to the castle is a mini brewery www.proBIERmi.ch and a farm with calf rearing.
