バート・リーベンツェルのおすすめライド

One of many here in the Biet.

A great road in itself. A bike path runs alongside it. Unfortunately, the road runs straight ahead, while the bike path zigzags 90° to 90° every 500 meters, and some of the tight curves are also covered in slippery gravel. The result: slow down to walking pace every 500 meters. So it's no wonder cyclists swerve onto the road where they can let it go.

Great view and great surface

The market square with its half-timbered showcase houses, the Protestant church and the market fountain are all calendar motifs.

Fast-paced - yes. Gentle curves and therefore not too demanding. You maintain a constant 50-65 km/h. Light traffic - no. While the pleasant gradient of ~6% is tempting on the uphill, there's still quite a lot of traffic. Therefore, only recommended for those who can resist stress.

The immaculate surface makes it almost effortless to cycle here. It's a gentle climb from Neuhausen. Off-peak, it's not particularly busy and there's plenty of room for safe overtaking. The only drawback: The former bike path next to it has been exempted from mandatory use (thanks in part to Natenom) and is therefore, strictly speaking, now a pedestrian-only path, but not everyone realizes this (or doesn't want to admit it). Nevertheless, it still occasionally leads to conflicts with drivers who would rather see you on this bumpy track than on the road. That's why I often prefer to cycle to Schellbronn via Hamberg. It's a small detour, but you get complete peace and quiet!

Covered wooden bridge over the Nagold with two bulges in the middle of the bridge.

You can ride the short stretch from the turnoff to Mindersbach to the Pfrondorf Mill on the road and maintain a high speed. This is an attractive option during off-peak times. When traffic is heavy, which is often the case, you can also opt for the bike path – but you'll have to accept one or two steep climbs and a lower speed. The route is a bit more adventurous: first, a very steep, confusing section under the road, then over the wooden bridge, and then a steep climb again just before Emmingen.
