Along the way, paved sections alternate with firm gravel paths, creating a smooth and rideable course. Several wooden bridges over the Hinterrhein form scenic highlights and offer beautiful views of the river course as well as the surrounding mountains. A cultural highlight is the Reformed Church Sils in Domleschg, which is worth a short detour or stop.
