There’s so much more to the beautiful Black Forest than pine trees. With peaceful lakes and meadows, traditional farmhouses and small villages, as well as the freshest air, it’s a terrific place to cycle. The Black Forest Panorama Cycle Trail (Schwarzwald Panorama Radweg) has five stages that take in breath-taking scenery as well as local attractions. From north to south, the paved bike path swoops across the low mountain ranges to Waldshut-Tiengen on the Swiss border, a total of 276 km / 172 miles. From Pforzheim, famous for its jewellery-making tradition, join the Enz Valley Cycle Path on the way to the spa town of Bad Wildbad and then Enzklösterle, known for its blueberries. Each day has highlights – and Höchstberg Mountain is one. At 1,084 m / 3,550 ft high, this is the highest point on the route! The reward for the climb is the glorious vista. Alternatively, from Bad Wildbad, you can climb 300 m / 1,000 ft effortlessly, by taking the Sommerberg funicular railway. Having pedalled past lakes and through villages, the final stretch is downhill to Waldshut-Tiengen. Celebrate with authentic Black Forest Cake (real cherries, thick cream and chocolate) and cheeses, sausages and home-baked breads from local farmers. Start: Pforzheim, 1 hour west of Stuttgart. Finish: Waldshut-Tiengen, 2 hours southwest of Stuttgart www.schwarzwald-panoramaradweg.de

With this round trip you go high up. You discover the beautiful Würmtal and the impressive view from the lookout tower "Hohe Warte".

From the romantic and ancient university town of Heidelberg via the idyllic Black Forest to beautiful Lake Constance, the Heidelberg-Black Forest-Lake Constance Cycle Route (Heidelberg-Schwarzwald-Bodensee Radweg) is full of fascinating stories. Running virtually north-south, this 300-km / 186-mile route was rated 3* by the German Cyclist’s Association, when it opened in 2018. As well as famous attractions, its six stages offer less well-known spots that reward attention. If you are in Reilingen and St. Leon-Rot in May or June, this is the time to feast on fresh asparagus, straight from the fields. Rich with culture and vineyards, the Kraichgau-Stromberg region is nicknamed the “Land of 1,000 Hills”; so consider renting e-bikes! Next up is Pforzheim, the “City of Gold” with its world-class jewellery museum and long history of jewellery and watch making. Then it is on to the Black Forest‘s unspoiled Nagold Valley and the impressive ruins of Hirsau‘s Benedictine monastery. Stroll round Rottweil, SouthWest Germany’s oldest town, seemingly unchanged in 500 years (and, yes, the town did give its name to the Rottweiler, a butcher’s dog). Visit the mysterious source of the Danube. Climb up to the vast ruins of Hohentwiel Castle, towering high above Singen (TIP: if you can, be there for the summer music festival in July). Then freewheel down to Lake Constance, with its relaxing, balmy climate and finish in Radolfzell, where the old town’s narrow alleyways and large squares host lively weekly and evening markets.
