From the heights of the Black Forest you can look over the wooded hills, which are still covered by a mysterious veil of mist early in the morning. But the sun does all the work and bathes the magnificent low mountain range landscape in a warm light that penetrates into the deep, picturesque gorges of the Black Forest valleys and makes the small villages along the way look even more cosy. Welcome to the Black Forest, the land of cuckoo clocks, the cherry cake — and the ingenious views. And these are precisely the motto of this tour, which is not called the Black Forest Panorama Cycle Route without reason. In five stages we present you Germany's highest low mountain range from its most beautiful side. So beautiful that even the ADFC has chosen this tour as a quality cycle route with four stars.

The start is in Pforzheim, from where you can enjoy cycling along the eastern edge of the Black Forest to Waldshut am Rhein. The gradients are mostly moderate. On the way, you usually roll along asphalt cycle paths and low-traffic side roads. From time to time, there are also well-designed gravel paths.

Especially in the stage towns there are many sights to discover. You will also find plenty of accommodation there. Not every town has a railway connection, so not all stages of the Black Forest Panorama Cycle Route are recommended as individual tours. As an alternative to starting in Pforzheim, you can also travel by train to Bad Wildbad, Freudenstadt, Villingen-Schwenningen or Titisee and join the tour there.

Tip for e-bikers: Along the Black Forest Panorama Cycle Route there are regular charging stations where you can refresh your batteries.
