Sleeping in Burgdorf Castle? Yes, it's possible, and you can do so in the youth hostel. It's actually located in the castle itself! The rooms within the old walls have been skillfully designed in a modern style, creating a cozy atmosphere. There are various room sizes (double, family, four-, and six-bed rooms), a restaurant, and as a guest, you can even visit the castle museum for free. There's a bike room or bicycle shelter for your bike. More information about the youth hostel: https://bern.com/de/informieren/unterkuenfte/hostels/jugendherberge-schloss-burgdorf

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.

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.

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 smooth asphalted route which offers views of the surrounding area. At this particular sight there is a picnic table which is very inviting to take a pause and just enjoy the landscape.
