RouteXpert Review
The route takes us from Baden-Baden, in the north of the Black Forest, to Schopfheim, in the south of the Black Forest. The route goes straight through the Black Forest. This region is popular with many motorcyclists and that is not for nothing. On the way we enjoy beautiful views over the valleys and lakes of the Black Forest.
This area is the largest low mountain range in Germany. The Romans called the densely wooded mountain range with its characteristic dark pine trees Silva Nigra, which was ominous and almost impenetrable to them. This area is seen by many people as the most beautiful engine area in Germany. It will therefore be a very varied trip with a fantastic route.
The route starts directly on the B500, also known as the Schwarzwaldhochstraße, the oldest and perhaps the most beautiful route through the Black Forest. Construction started in 1930 and finally finished in 1952. The Straße winds up to the top of the Bühlerhöhe. The road continues along the mountains, with beautiful views to Freudenstadt on the east side of the forest, and all at an altitude between 800 and 1000 meters.
During this route, the mythical stories of this ever so impenetrable forest will surely appeal to your imagination, just like the least challenging smaller roads, the beautiful river valleys, beautiful churches and always pleasant Biergarten.
We will do this lunch in Schönwald at Landgasthof Falken.
Furthermore, this region is also called the cradle of cuckoo clock, typical wooden houses and the irresistible traditional Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte
On the way a short photo moment, see photo above. There are also plenty of beautiful places along this route to enjoy the view and / or take some pictures.
Then you come between route points 10 and 11 you pass two large lakes, including the Titisee. This lake has an area of 1.3 square kilometers, is 20 meters deep on average and lies at 1000 meters above sea level. The lake is fed by the Feldberg Glacier.
We also drive along the Schluchsee, the largest reservoir in the Black Forest. It lies at 930 meters above sea level and is therefore the highest reservoir in Germany.
After the Schluchsee it is still about 1H30M drive to the terminus in Schopfheim, beautifully situated hotel on a hill overlooking the valley.
I gave this route 5 stars because it has everything that makes motorcycling fun. The varied landscape, the beautiful mountain climate and the large amount
beautiful roads with both slow and fast turns, lots of hairpins and many beautiful views.
Route comments:
rp 6 - Lunch at Landgasthof Falken.
rp 8 - Short photo moment, see picture above. Be careful, it is not an official stopping point, but there is little traffic.
Tip: Next to this hotel is another lookout tower. Definitely worth it. From this point you can look forward to Switzerland and France.
