The climb from Hottwil finishes with a nice reward of the valley below towards the Rhein Valley, the Black Forest in Germany and on the other side a view of the Aare Valley with Brugg and Baden in the background. The descent to Remigen is on a smooth asphalted service and there is a fountain to fill up your water bottles at the main intersection in Remingen.
