Here is a small rest area, conveniently located, before crossing the "endless" Linth plain (often with headwinds).

Whether a detour to Lintheben is worthwhile, everyone must decide for themselves: flat, gravel paths and asphalt lanes, quite often headwinds.

The road along the northern shore of the lake offers magnificent views of the lake time and again - so I can live with the driving ban on the south side of the lake.

A truly beautiful lake (reservoir with a largely natural dam), especially in autumn (magnificent colors).

A very beautiful pass. From Klöntalersee, good fitness is required on a mountain bike, but the entire route is rideable. Then, towards Obersee, excellent downhill technique is required; otherwise, you'll have to push your bike for about 100 meters, after which it's back to easy gravel roads.
