Like most of the roads in the Bern Mittelland, this one offers a very smooth surface and in the spring time the road is surrounded from the various colors of the flowers and blossoms of the rapeseed, cherry, apple and pear trees. Best time to ride here is in the Spring to take advantage of the colors.

A very nice asphalted road Untenen to Mattstetten, the roads in Bern seem to be well kept and very smooth. There are also a lot of commuter bicyclists coming in and out of Bern, so one is seldomly alone on the roads within a 30km radius of Bern. The city of Bern has gone to great lengths to create Vélostrassen which allow cyclists to pass through the city on complete cycleways.

The cycleway which passes through Mattstetten has excellent smooth asphalted pavement which is lined with typical half-timbered Bernese Architecture. Take your time and look around the village and admire the architecture of these structures.
