カッペルローデックのおすすめライド

It could be so beautiful: good road surface, peaceful nature, a pleasant, consistent incline. Access for motor vehicles is actually only permitted with a "special permit"—but there seem to be a lot of them (it is, after all, a convenient shortcut). Even with just a handful of vehicles, it gets a bit annoying, because the road often only accommodates one modern car (not to mention the trucks that use it during the logging season), and places to pull over are scarce. This means: pull onto the verge and let them pass (if you haven't already been overtaken with only 5 cm of clearance), which, of course, disrupts the flow of traffic. A radar like the Varia is helpful; otherwise, you're constantly looking behind you, paranoid. The official speed limit here is 30 km/h (realistically more of a "recommendation"), but the cars approach much faster. Going downhill, due to the aforementioned road width, it would be quite narrow when there's oncoming traffic, and the cars would block each other. I like the route and will probably continue to drive it from time to time depending on my mood, but unfortunately I can't wholeheartedly recommend it.

scenic route, good asphalt

Hello to all cyclists, the Achertal cycle path from Ottenhöfen to Seebach is, in my opinion, wide enough, so you don't have to race downhill. Moreover, during the holiday season (Easter, Pentecost, summer, and fall break), it's very busy with vacationers with children and dogs. Very practical and beautiful rest areas, where you can relax and consciously enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Greetings, your guide Werner 🚴‍♂️🛣️🌲🌄🪵

The castle complex presumably originated from a Franconian estate, originally built on a Roman site. What is certain is that the castle already existed as a defensible moated castle in the 13th century. The full history can be read here: https://schloss-neuweier.de/geschichte/ The castle can generally only be viewed from the outside (it is not a museum). Incidentally, there was also an "upper castle" in Neuweier – where the church stands today. Unfortunately, nothing remains of it.

Coming from Kappelrocke, it's the first small test before turning right down in the valley via Sasbachwalden, Brandmatt, up onto the B500, and finally the Hornisgrinde with its Bismarck Tower. A beautiful tour that every cyclist should do at least once in their life, even if it's just the colossal climb up the Knetschwasen followed by a rapid descent. And the latter also applies to the climb from Obersasbach towards Kappelrodeck.

The view over the hills of the Black Forest is beautiful, but it is too busy here directly at the Mummelsee

At the Church of St. Peter and Paul, which dominates the square, you will also find the detailed fool's fountain and the town hall with the integrated former church tower.

Be careful going downhill! The road is very narrow and uphill (i.e. towards you when you are going downhill) the average Kniebis/Baiersbronn citizen often drives twice the speed limit. You can't see around the bends at all and sometimes huge timber trucks come towards you at the same speed. Beautiful road, but anyone who drives down here more than 50 is suicidal
