Blauen Summit (1,165 m)

The southern driveway from Kandern is a full eight kilometers longer than the one from the northwest via Badenweiler, so the gradient here is largely moderate and manageable even for those with less fitness. There is only a steeper ramp with up to twelve percent, but you can gain strength from several village fountains, at least one of which is always in operation - an advantage that the consistently demanding driveway via Badenweiler does not offer. For ambitious drivers, the other direction of travel is generally recommended, especially since the descent to Kandern allows significantly higher speeds due to fewer curves.

July 4, 2020: The inn is closed and surrounded by a construction fence. Doesn't look like there's going to be anything back soon.

From the high blue one has a wonderful far view .. if it leaves the weather!
