Germany by bike: the southern Black Forest

 

 

This cycling holiday in Germany through the Black Forest is relaxing. Even though the region is hilly, the route is designed to enjoy the scenery while saving energy thanks to train journeys. Only the descents remain (or almost)!

Embark on this densely forested region of southern Germany with green hills and typical farms. Its inhabitants are known for their relaxed attitude and warm welcome. Passing healing mineral springs, which were already used by the Romans, you cross the southern foothills of the Black Forest, before discovering the first vineyards of the route, near Freiburg. With this trip, you reach the Haut-Rhin and visit Basel, a lively Swiss city located on the border of Germany and France. 

 

 

Day 1: arrival in Freiburg

This city is considered the most welcoming in Germany! The architecture has been successively marked by French and Austrian influences. In the old town, a very special atmosphere reigns. The imposing Romanesque Gothic cathedral, the streams that run alongside its alleys and the view of the surrounding wooded hills, typical of the Black Forest, are a big part of it.

Overnight in Freiburg

 

Day 2: from Freiburg to Bonndorf (45 km + train)

This first stage takes you very quickly to the heart of the Black Forest. After 10 km, you take a train between Kirchzarten and Titisee. It is comfortably seated that you appreciate the magnificent hilly landscape unfolding before your eyes. Then pedal through picturesque villages with typical Black Forest houses to Bonndorf.

Overnight in Bonndorf

 

Day 3: Bonndorf to Waldshut-Tiengen (45/50 km)

If you want to discover the Wutach Gorge, one of the last wild river landscapes in Europe, we recommend spending an extra day in Bonndorf. The route continues by bike to the Rhine Valley, located 500 m lower. You descend gently through the hills of the Black Forest. Waldshut-Tiengen is located right on the Swiss border.

Overnight in Waldshut-Tiengen

 

Day 4: Waldshut-Tiengen to Basel (50 km + train or 65 km)

Towards Laufenburg, you cycle to Bad Säckingen, where you will find the longest covered wooden bridge in Europe. Two museums with surprising themes can be visited: the Garbage Museum and the Trumpet Museum, which tells the romantic story of a famous local trumpeter. Continue along the north bank of the Rhine to Rheinfelden. From there, you have two choices:

  • Shorter stage by taking the train to Basel
  • Continue past the Roman Museum Augusta which gives an insight into what life was like in this Roman colony of Augusta Raurica. Around 200 AD, nearly 10,000 people lived here and its ruins are still visible today.

Overnight in Basel, a Swiss city located on the borders of Germany and France. Stroll on foot through the charming medieval city, dominated by its red sandstone town hall, and concentrated around the market square.

 

Day 5: from Basel to Badenweiler or Müllheim (50 / 45 km)

Leave the lively city of Basel towards Isteiner Klotz. This village perched on a rock dominates the Rhine and the surrounding area. After a few kilometres, you reach the first spa towns. On the edge of the Black Forest, prized healing waters flow from the mountains and have been used to supply the baths since Roman times.

Overnight in Badenweiler or Müllheim

 

Day 6: from Badenweiler or Müllheim to Freiburg (45/40 km)

Cycle through the vineyards of Margraviat (Markgräflerland). This region, which benefits from many hours of sunshine throughout the year and waters with exceptional characteristics, produces delicious wines. Return to Freiburg and its warm atmosphere. If you did not take the time to do so on your arrival, visit the Schlossberg, a castle which offers a beautiful panorama of the city and the Black Forest. The cathedral tower is also a must-see.

Overnight in Freiburg

 

Day 7: Freiburg

End of the tour after breakfast. Possibility of additional night(s).
