Please check local regulations for: Naturpark Schwarzwald Mitte/Nord
Location: Bad Herrenalb, Calw, Karlsruhe District, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Starting from Bad Herrenalb you drive towards Gaistal. If you follow the street with the aptly named "Buckelstraße" you will get a crisp slope> 20%. Just on the border to the mobile with the road bike. Further up the tour direction Dobel can be continued.
There you get on a very well-developed bike path with a uniform slope.

The climb at times resembles more of a balancing act than a stylish bike ride, with the blazing midday sun adding to the heat.The torture is worth it and is rewarded with a beautiful view back down into the valley. You're sure to get some incredulous looks from the locals.The surface is a bit too rough on the downhill, and you spend more time braking than enjoying the ride.
