DE-BW Black Forest Schiltach West - Gravel 65 km, D+ 1710 m, 18 passes

Author description

Author Jean-Luc Ceccato
Course To be carried out on 14 September 2020
Departure Schiltach: several free car parks, including one along the Kinzig at the junction of Hauptstraße and Auestraße. Alt: 330 m.
For accommodation, I recommend the Gasthof Zum Weyßen Rößle. Rosemarie Wolber is very friendly and speaks French. The food is very good.

Tourist information

As you pass through the villages, you'll see the carefully decorated houses that are so typical of this mid-mountain region. There are numerous viewpoints along the way.

Technical specifications

This route presents no difficulties, and was completed with a mountain bike fitted with 40 gravel tyres, with no problems whatsoever. It's a route of around 50 % of nice rolling tracks and the rest on tarmac roads.
For access to the Dohlenbacher Höhe DE-BW-0476, I advise you to go up and down the side of the loop that I went down, about 300 m, because the part I went up required me to cross an electrified fence and drive inside the field.
Once you have reached the Steig pass DE-BW-0505a, an easy 200 m push leads to a track.
As with most routes in the Black Forest, there are often some fairly steep gradients.
