Description
The sources of the Danube and the mighty Rhine Falls will be among your goals. Of course, you will also explore the winding roads that are just waiting to be discovered. You’ll come across vineyards and winding forest stretches, and clear heights with incredible and distant views. Of course, stops are planned now and then to let your eyes wander or to make a photographer's heart beat faster.
Warning: This tour is highly addictive. By the end of the tour, it is probably only your sore backside that prevents you from having withdrawal symptoms.

Then onto Kaltenbronn, Baiersbronn, and Freudenstadt as further stops. Soon, you will come to the Kinzig Valley with its beautiful towns of Schiltach and Wolfach. Finally, you’ll ride over the Schönberg to Lahr and back on the wine route. Today’s Ride: about 240 km / 150 miles
Day 3: Via All Saints' Day to the devil's mill
Riding through the Rench and Lierbach valleys, you come to Allerheiligen with its monastery ruins and a waterfall before enjoying the curves and the view on the Black Forest High Road. The legendary Mummelsee, like the Schwarzenbachtalsperre, is worth a photo stop. On the way to the Teufelsmühle, you can stretch your legs during a short walk to the Teufelsloch, an interesting rock formation.

Your dream route continues, via St. Peter and St. Märgen, again with wonderful views. Next, you ride to Hexenloch, then to Dreistegen. Furtwangen, Prechtal and Wolftal are further stages before you wish the Hex vom Dasenstein a good evening in Kappelrodeck. Today’s Ride: about 260 km / 161 miles
Day 5: On the trail of the cuckoo clock
You can take it a bit easier on today’s tour and see what makes the Black Forest famous and popular. The plan for today is sightseeing. Through well-known wine towns such as Durbach and Zell-Weierbach, you come to Gengenbach, known for its closed medieval townscape. At the beginning of the Gutach Valley, you visit another notable highlight, the Vogtsbauernhof open-air museum. Soon afterward, you stop at the world's largest functioning cuckoo clock and look around to see what makes the eyes of the American and Asian guests light up: thousands of cuckoo clocks in various sizes and designs. After a short walk to the waterfalls in Triberg, you go to Furtwangen, where the history of the cuckoo clock is explained in its largest clock museum. Later, you’ll ride the B500, the panorama road, as it brings you to Titisee and Schluchsee, from where you will head to your 2nd base hotel. Today’s Ride: about 230 km / 143 miles

Starting with the Brigach spring, you continue to the Martinskapelle, where the Breg, the second source river of the Danube, rises a little below the European watershed. Through the Bregtal, you get to Donaueschingen, where you take a look at the third source of the Danube. Along the river, you come to the Danube infiltration, where the Danube dries up almost completely in dry summers. Not far after that is the Danube surrounded by towering limestone walls. On the way back, you visit the largest spring in Germany, the Aachtopf, where the Danube water that has seeped away returns to the surface again. Today’s Ride: about 300 km / 186 miles
Day 7: The 8 thousand
You won’t believe it, a total of eight thousand plus meter passes in the Black Forest, and there’s plenty more.
