One of four (I think I counted four on my tour) bridges reserved for pedestrians and cyclists.

A very smooth asphalted route which offers views of the surrounding area. At this particular sight there is a picnic table which is very inviting to take a pause and just enjoy the landscape.

Bern has very well kept asphalted streets with low automobile traffic which are perfect for cycling. I ride this stretch of smooth rode a least once a week and it is a good springboard to points North and South of Bern

The cycleway which passes through Mattstetten has excellent smooth asphalted pavement which is lined with typical half-timbered Bernese Architecture. Take your time and look around the village and admire the architecture of these structures.
