This bike route travels parallel to a very popular train route between Zurich and Italy. If you ride the train along this section in order to climb the valley it must do a 'corkscrew' climb via some tunnels near Wassen. If you look out the window near Wassen you'll see the big white church of Wassen three seperate times as the train disappears into one tunnel and comes out at a higher one in the corkscrew.
