This route offers landscape variety and some natural beauties; and this not far from the Swiss federal capital.

The Schwarzwassergraben is a nature reserve. So be sure to stick to the marked route if you do not want to carry the bike. From the old Schwarzwasser bridge to Thörishaus (Café Sesemare) there is a general riding ban!
