There are better places to admire the Birs: It's always quite busy and there's heavy traffic here. Therefore, I recommend: Take a look as you drive by and move on.

Susy's farm shop is tucked away unobtrusively by the roadside and can easily be missed. That would be a real shame for your taste buds, because on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays, they're treated to heavenly goodness. They offer bread, sweets, savory snacks, and drinks from the refrigerator. Payment is accepted in cash or with TWINT. A gem that will give you the energy you need for the next leg of your journey!

This is not really a climb but more of a wave between Hochwald and Gempen.
