At 859 meters, the Burghorn is the highest point on the Lägerngrat. From here, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views: to the south over the Limmat Valley to the Alps 🏔️, and to the north into the Surb Valley and the Aargau Jura 🌳 – a perfect place for a break with a view!

Arriving at the foot of the Erdmanndliloch is already exhausting enough, climbing the Erdmanndliloch with your biker boots is also a breathtaking effort. Once you've done it😃😀😃

A nice little medieval village which has an annual event with this theme. The crossing from Hohentengen am Hochrhein to Kaisersthul is asphalted with a very nice bridge crossing over from into Kaisersthul, however the short climb (5%) from the Rhine River up to the railway crossing is very busy with traffic on the weekend from Swiss shoppers in Germany. At the tope there is a very nice Restaurant Kreuz with large trees making the beergarden a very nice cool place for eating lunch, having a coffee or an evening beer. If your destination from this point is Zürich, continue straight ahead on the road to Bachs -> Dielsdorf which has little traffic and a very nice cycling path once the rather easy climb starts.
