What could be better than taking a well-deserved espresso or ice cream break after a challenging Tour? Even though this may not be 'Bella-Italia,' the Black Forest has its unique charm. You'll discover unparalleled natural landscapes here: mountains, passes, gorges and lakes. Rivers rage wildly or gently ripple through the forest. Picture yourself riding through these scenes on your racing bike, breathing the fresh Black Forest air deeply. You ride up and downhill – the perfect combination of challenge and exhilaration.
In this Collection, we present eight Tours with varying levels of difficulty. All of them start either at a car park or a train station. You'll conquer the highest passes in the Black Forest, traverse wildly romantic valleys and enjoy magnificent views extending as far as the Alps and the Vosges. The highlights include scenic side roads with wonderfully smooth asphalt and winding descents. Rustic Black Forest villages invite you to stay and explore and, at the end of each Tour, you'll always have time for an espresso and ice cream!
More and more people want to explore and experience the impressive nature in the Black Forest – whether on foot, by bike or on a mountain bike. We're only guests here in the Black Forest; the animals and plants are our hosts. That's why it's important to have #respectfornature for all nature lovers, because only with respect can we preserve the Black Forest in its beauty for generations to come.
Learn more about the #respectfornature initiative on our profile page at komoot.de/user/schwarzwaldtourismus or respekt-schwarzwald.info.
