On the way to the Glaubenberg Pass, this route is a very pleasant alternative to the direct route through the valley from Wolhusen via Entlebuch. From the Reng Pass, it's only a short descent of a few meters until you rejoin the Glaubenberg route just before Finsterwalde.

This section is a beautiful hilly place, with rural views, to indulge in mountain biking. The slopes are there without reaching the real mountain.
