Hiking And Cycling In The Black Forest

Beskrivelse

Discover the beauty of Germany's Black Forest with a variety of walking and cycling routes that span the northern, central, and southern regions. This guide offers detailed descriptions for 15 day walks, 3 multi-stage treks, and 5 cycle paths, perfect for exploring this stunning landscape.

A comprehensive guide to exploring the Black Forest on foot and by bike.

The book covers an even spread of routes across all three areas of the Black Forest, featuring both long-distance trails and shorter day walks. Each stage of the long-distance treks can also be enjoyed as standalone day tours, making it flexible for different types of adventurers.

Highlights include iconic Black Forest spots such as Feldberg, Belchen, Schauinsland, Hornisgrinde, and Mummelsee. You'll also find routes passing through historical and natural landmarks like Allerheiligen Abbey and waterfalls, as well as the source of the Danube River.

Among the three long-distance treks, two are certified quality trails:

• Schluchtensteig (120 km), a gorge trail that winds through the Wutachschlucht, one of Germany’s last wild river landscapes.
• Zweitälersteig (108 km), a diverse circular route showcasing some of the most beautiful and varied scenery in the Central Black Forest.

The third trek, Seensteig (71 km), follows the central ridge of the Black Forest mountains, offering breathtaking panoramic views along its path.

For cyclists, the guide features mostly easy and scenic rides, including four day routes and the extensive 242 km Southern Black Forest Cycle Route. These make use of the region’s well-maintained network of bike trails that weave throughout the area.

Each walk and ride is described in detail, accompanied by basic maps to help with navigation and orientation, making this an essential companion for anyone keen to explore the Black Forest by foot or bike.
