The tunnel is just on the way. But it's an interesting experience - especially if the lights fail... But don't panic, the tunnel isn't long!

At 34°C, it's a wonderfully cool stretch – but only on the return trip. You have to take the ride to experience the time of the "Todtnauerli"!

Great alternative to the main road, but it rolls badly in wet conditions and you get pretty dirty.

Be careful, sometimes the lights don't come on, especially at dusk when you haven't turned the light on yourself.
