Covered with tall fir trees and spruces, the Black Forest is one of Germany’s most picturesque regions.
After meeting at Folkestone and an early morning crossing to Calais, we’ll ride towards our first overnight destination in the Champagne region of France. The next morning we’ll continue our journey into the Black Forest, one of the most attractive biking destinations in Europe and often referred to as a paradise for motorcycle touring. For the next four nights we’ll base ourselves in the southern region of the Black Forest in one of our biker-friendly hotels, with an excellent restaurant and well stocked wine cellar. From here we can explore Lakes Titisee and Schluchsee, just the place to treat ouselves with a slice (or two) of Black Forest gateaux.
Take a ride to Feldberg, the highest mountain in the Black Forest, visit the historic town of Freiburg and the Roman spa city of Baden-Baden. Also not to be missed, a day trip to visit Triberg the highest waterfalls in the region and an open air museum with Black Forest’s oldest house dating back to the XVII century. While we are there why not just pop just next door and have an exciting toboggan ride (1400 m long) which will cause a scream or two, even amongst the bravest ones?
The Black Forest cannot be mentioned without making reference to the most famous biking road in Germany, the B500. This road is engineered in a true German fashion with fantastic surfaces and long cambered sweeping bends. If this sounds too good to be true, why not join this tour and find out for your self?
