Technical description

This route does not present any major difficulties, and was done with a mountain bike on 40 road tires, without any problems. The only small difficulty is the access to the pass DE-BW-0688, which is located 100 m from the path in the thickets.

Like most of the Black Forest routes, one is often confronted with rather steep slopes.

In 2019 the passes n° 11 and 12 were not referenced. These two passes are very close to the route I had drawn at the time. So don’t forget to integrate them, by slightly modifying the route

This route is composed of about 80% of paved roads and the rest of beautiful rolling tracks. It is quite long, but quite feasible because it is very rolling. It can also be split in two in an axis between the village of Gernsbach and Bad Herrenald.
