Top-notch motorcycle route in the Black Forest?
In the heart of Germany lies the Black Forest, a region known for its hot springs, posh spa towns, and picturesque landscapes. One such town is Baden-Baden, named differently from other towns with hot springs due to its German origins, meaning 'bathe' or 'bath'. However, this town, while charming, was not particularly welcoming to bikers, with difficult cafe access and complicated parking.
The real gem for bikers in the Black Forest is the B500, a road that has earned the reputation of being one of the best biking roads on the planet. This famous biking road offers great fun and speed, albeit flatter, wider, and smoother compared to roads like the L92. The B500 runs roughly North to South through the Southern Black Forest, with the best part generally considered to be from Baden-Baden down to the town of Freudenstadt.
The B500's temperature cranked up to over 20 degrees, making it warm enough to wear lighter bike clothing. The road, while famous for biking, was not found to be particularly technical or challenging compared to other roads in the Black Forest. Nevertheless, it provides an enjoyable ride for bikers seeking speed and fun.
The L92, on the other hand, is a minor road that was discovered by luck during the trip. Known as 'biker heaven', this road offers incredible views near the top, with a layby filled with bikers. The descent on roads like the L92 can be challenging, as controlling the bike, speed, and turns while gravity pulls you down an increasingly steep slope can be difficult.
The author, Kathryn Bird, never planned to buy a motorhome, quit her job as an air traffic controller, or start a motorhome travel website. However, her unexpected journey through the Black Forest has led her to share her adventures and inspire others to have their own epic adventures.
For those seeking more biking routes in the Black Forest region, there are several other roads worth exploring. These include the Nagoldtalradweg from Urnagold to Pforzheim, the Schwarzwald Panorama-Radweg from Pforzheim to Freudenstadt, the Murgtal route from Rastatt to Freudenstadt, the Kinzigtal-Radweg between Freudenstadt and Offenburg, and the Enztal-Radweg from Enzquelle to the Neckar.
In addition to the biking routes, the Black Forest region offers several castles and ruins, as well as great hikes, around the area of Baden-Baden. The author plans to return to the Black Forest to explore it further and visit one of the famous spas.
One road the author recommends south of Schiltach is the 492 road for its spectacular drive through a gorge. German roads are smooth, wide, and have better visibility than British roads, and German drivers seem to be taught how to deal with bikers.
In conclusion, the Black Forest offers a unique biking experience, from the famous B500 to the hidden gem, L92. Whether you're a seasoned biker or a beginner, the Black Forest has something for everyone. So pack your gear, hop on your bike, and embark on an unforgettable journey through the Black Forest.
