Black Forest

First things first Ken

Get yourself a friend

 

Hi Ken, wife and moi did the BF by car last year, beautiful area. It struck me that once you're off the autobahn, all roads looked good. Maybe @Winglad can make some suggestions ?

 

ITs a great place to ride a bike. I thought I was in heaven. Heres the place we stayed at. Its run by a couple of Brits. Bit of a cop out but its popular with fellow bikershttp://www.pension-williams.com/.

 

Hello Ken,
check this out:


This is a great road to give you a nice overview of the Black Forest.
The same website in English:

Unfortunately, I did not find the text above translated there.... (!?)

If you love gourmet food and are willing to get rid of a few British pounds by gaining some German kilos and if you happen to be in Baden Baden (great town - owned by Russians though) check out Brenners Parkhotel. (Jacket and tie required. I arrived wearing a tie but no jacket, so the restaurant supplied one to be draped over my dining chair. I considered this as pretty good service).

They have, or had, one Michelin star and on a trip to this place and also to the ‚Traube‘ further south, we agreed to have been served the best gourmet food for the money we spend.

Anyway: you will discover, that nearly all places have great food and asked for the roads: just take the ones with the most bends
If anything else comes to my mind, I‘ll post it here...

Cheers, Daniel

 

Isn‘t the Trifletower located in Parish?

 

Don't go where mummelsee!

 

I was even more intrigued by the Titisee...
...lake of tits...
Rumor has it that if you dive deep enough, you will enter the labyrinth of boobs...

 

I was there last month - stayed in Freiburg which was a good central location. B500 was very busy so we didn't spend much time on it. The roads around Munstertal, Bad Krozingen, Todtmoos are fantastic. If you stay around that area (and Lake Titisee) you can't go wrong. Miles of twisting roads one after the other.

 

hi did ,black forest last year first night stopped in Aachen then road to Baden Baden via back roads and motorway ,night life in Baden Baden was good outdoor concerts etc ,if that's your thing stay near the town we stayed at a place called the Rebstock hotel on the outskirts nice but no evening meal which meant a 30 euro ride each way into town ,
the roads up and around the area are fantastic undulating with some awesome sweeping bends and tight ones to boot had a great time
if your using twat nav make sure to set it to avoid toll roads on way back mate s thing sent us into france straight on to toll road back into Germany back into france back to Germany up cycle paths (natives using it not impressed )Luxemburg ,Belgium (speed cameras about 1m high grey in colour set in centra resavations be aware )and finally back into france for the tunnel
