A super flat route. However, if you approach from the gravel side, you'll mostly be riding against the wind.

At the Zulgspitz, the Zulg, which rises high up at the Grüenebergpass, flows into the Aare. It flows down over two sills, which creates an interesting picture.

The Glütschbach or valley was the riverbed of the Kander until 1714. This also explains the deep incision for this small stream.
