フォルバックの峠・トップ14

いくつかの写真には小さな木造の小屋が写っています。残念ながら燃えてしまいました。新しいものが建てられるといいですね。

登りではお勧めできません。多くのドライバーがここでフルスピードを出します。森の中には林道の代替ルートがあります。例えば、シュヴァルツェンベルクから。下りではもちろんクールです。

The Besenfelder Steige is an extremely challenging descent. When you're hurtling down into the Murg Valley at 70-80 km/h, you need a high level of concentration and bike control. The surface damage, combined with the steep gradient and the curves, is incredibly demanding. Plus, you're exposed to the wind. I ride down it quite often, but I still have to mentally prepare myself for the stress beforehand. Uphill? Absolutely not. There are far too many trucks on the road, and overtaking is extremely difficult due to the poor visibility around the curves. Unfortunately, not everyone has the patience for it. With a regular bike, I would definitely recommend sticking to gravel. With a road bike, you can either go via Heselbach to Igelsberg (a short gravel section) or via Klosterreichenbach.

New surface - making it one of the best descents in the whole area. The sharp curves are challenging, but a lot of fun and the gradient ensures a good speed. However, in the evenings and on weekends and public holidays there are many motorized racers on the road who endanger others and themselves with their high spirits - unfortunately a widespread problem here. I would therefore recommend the morning hours - preferably on weekdays. Uphill, this is THE climb to Kaltenbronn that you can torture yourself on

I agree with Albrecht. Downhill, from about the bus stop to the first bend, it's briefly two-lane, but then it's no longer there. Despite the poor visibility, overtaking is impossible here, so the climb can sometimes be stressful even by car. The numerous trucks during the week are replaced by amateur racers on weekends and holidays. The descent is sometimes challenging, extremely fast, and not the best surface. Especially on the tight hairpin bend, you can't brake too hard and you have to stay fully focused. After that, it's a steep descent.

I have already driven this route Oppenau - Allerheiligen, Ruhestein in both directions this year 2024. If you want to drive this section of the route in a relaxed manner and without heavy traffic, I do not recommend planning it on public holidays such as Easter, Pentecost, Ascension Day or Corpus Christi. Your guide Werner🚵🌲🌄 PS: ALONG THE WAY, stop at viewpoints every now and then and enjoy the views and take photos!!

Busy road, even with heavy goods traffic, therefore only recommended as a descent.

currently still construction site. That would have to be the last part to be repaired. The chances are good to have a super nice track with a great surface next year. Unfortunately sometimes a lot of cars and mopeds.
