Tips from the Community
From Huttwil, it's initially gentle towards Eriswil. From there, the road climbs and the gradient becomes more challenging. You ride on the main road, but there is little traffic on this route.

Beautiful approach, quite steep in the first part, later very pleasant to ride.

On Sundays, the restaurant closes at 4:00 PM. Don't they need it?

You should definitely stop by the Burgdorfer Schützenhaus if you like beer. Burgdorfer 1999 beer was first brewed in the brewery. Today, the facility is still in operation, producing specialty beers. You can also enjoy a good meal and recharge your batteries at the inn. More information: https://burgdorferschuetzenhaus.ch/.

Even better than the show dairy is the Meier bakery right next door! Ideal for a refreshing snack in the form of a cream cake or a Nide cake.
