The road can be quite busy, especially with trucks and agricultural vehicles.

The Wespi Mill, a large, long-serving mill, is still occasionally in use, and the dull pounding of the millstone can be heard from afar. The newer tower now houses a residential building. The highest waterfall in the Töss, located at the confluence of the Vorderer and Hinterer Töss rivers near Steg, was artificially raised for the mill, and its diverted water falls onto a large waterwheel that drives a powerful millstone.

This route is on excellent smooth pavement with little traffic, except during the rush hour. There are not many fountains nor places for eating on this stretch. The village of Flaach does offer 1 or 2 good restaurants as well a bicycle shop in the village.

The border crossing into Switzerland leads over a historic wooden bridge worth seeing.
