A challenging pass in the Tafeljura, the climb is made up of a small road with a maximum gradient of 15% and little traffic. The scenery is very scenic, with magnificent panoramas along the way.

A striking castle hill above the village of Zunzgen at the entrance to the Diegtertal valley. It was built on a hilltop, and the castle was probably inhabited from the 10th to the early 12th century. Beautiful view.
