    The summit has been car-free since 2001. However, it can still be easily reached with the Belchenbahn, or of course on foot or by bike.

        Super cool ascent or descent to the summit

          A former road up to the Belchen summit. But now, for cars, closed. That means you can ride long wavy lines with the bike without bothering anyone ;-).

            After an ascent over good and sometimes steep routes, away from roads, you will be rewarded with a unique view over the Rhine Valley, over the Black Forest and, in good weather conditions, with a great view of the Alps.

              It's worth watching!

                the Belchen is simply the most beautiful mountain in the Black Forest - and the traffic-free road (since 2001) is still in good condition (racing cyclists only have to carry or push at the cable car valley station)

                  Great summit with a fantastic panorama. A must for everyone to cycle up there

                    The climb is definitely worth it.. wonderful panoramic view as the summit is a tree-free zone

                      A quiet panoramic road to Belchen – completely car-free, ideal for cyclists and hikers. A pleasant climb with fantastic views along the way.
