When the temperatures are crisp, you could easily lean back and claim the bike season is over. Or you can see these unfavorable conditions as a challenge, fight the pre Christmas laziness, that is taking over all around, and go on your last bike adventure this year. We have picked a little jewel for you and altered according to the season: The Black Forest is now as beautiful as ever, with its dream-like trails and landscapes from a fairy tale book.

We took the official Bike Crossing route and turned it into a modest 3-day tour, going from south to north. It will lead you through wide valleys, curvy trails, lonely gravel roads and narrow single tracks. Diversified, bumpy and fast is how the Black Forest presents itself these days. Get ready for the last big adventure of the year.

I hope you did a good job at breakfast. On today's stage, it goes up a few meters uphill; thanks to gravity but also down rapidly again.

So in the cycling shoes and on the Brennstubenweg and Herrenkopfweg up to the Hochkopfturm. Here, at 1267m, there is a magnificent panorama over the surrounding valleys…

Day 3 has begun. Thus, the last section of the total of about 160 kilometers long tour. From the rather contemplative Todtnau, today it goes through the beautiful Black Forest in the city of Freiburg im Breisgau. Even the sections could not be more opposite. From the popular and frequently visited Todtnauer…
