For the Most Part, Swiss National Cycleway 84 is on a smooth surface but this is an exception to the rule. This stretch of the route from Herzogenbuchsee to the forest is rough and not a very good surface but still doable on a road bike. There is also a public grill just on the edge of the forest.

This cycleway provides a great alternative to avoid to the heavy rush hour traffic between Burgdorf and Langenthal on the main road, however for road bikes there is a small section where road cyclists have to take the main road to avoid a stretch of gravel road.
