Over the Ärgera/La Gérine, the «Röstigraben», the divide between German & French-speaking Switzerland, the silhouette of the city of Fribourg in the distance, down to the Rossens dam, which in 1948 transformed a jagged ravine into lovely Lac de la Gruyère.
Beginning in Plaffeien, this stage crosses the Canton of Fribourg as far as Romont. The cycle path passes over the Ärgera River (La Gérine in French) and thus the cultural boundary between the German- and French-speaking parts of Switzerland. On your way, you’ll encounter some hilly terrain and pass by the tip of the Lac de la Gruyère lake and numerous villages in the Canton of Fribourg.
