The Swiss National Cycleway 84 runs through many village and Herzogenbuchsee is a beautiful village with many half-timbered houses, take your time and look at the architecture of these structures.

From this point until the village of Bollodingen, the road turns into a gravel road. I would advise road cyclists to avoid this stretch of gravel and take the detour to the village of Hermiswil and ride on the busy road between Hermiswil and Bollodingen. The road on itself is of a smooth asphalted surface with no holes but during the morning and evening rush hour, this road has a lot of heavy traffic.

The Swiss National Route 84 stretches all the way from Zürich to Thun in Berner Oberland. Traverses several Swiss Cantons (ZH, AG, SO, BE) and on clear days, offering a good panoramic view of the alps. The surface is on, for the most part, very good asphalted surface with several small sections of the route are on gravel roads..

The Swiss National Route 84 runs from Zürich to Thun in Upper Bernese city of Thun on the lake bearing its name. This route is for the majority of the time on smooth asphalted surface on roads which have light to no traffic, with the exception of two small stretches of gravel roads. Take this road to avoid all the truck and automobile traffic on the road between Burgdorf and Langenthal.

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.
