You can turn left here and take the bike path through the forest. It can be tricky with a few turns through the forest but stay in the general map direction and you will hit the Wiese estuary. Follow the Wiese until where the route crosses over the water and rejoin the mapped route.
Point of interest after 60.2 km
This area has changed due to Novartis St Johan campus development. Direction and route remain almost identical through this section now just with the inclusion of a slightly different road layout.
