Like most of the roads in the Bern Mittelland, this one offers a very smooth surface and in the spring time the road is surrounded from the various colors of the flowers and blossoms of the rapeseed, cherry, apple and pear trees. Best time to ride here is in the Spring to take advantage of the colors.

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

A very nice asphalted road Untenen to Mattstetten, the roads in Bern seem to be well kept and very smooth. There are also a lot of commuter bicyclists coming in and out of Bern, so one is seldomly alone on the roads within a 30km radius of Bern. The city of Bern has gone to great lengths to create Vélostrassen which allow cyclists to pass through the city on complete cycleways.
