A dedicated cycle path that winds alongside the Schluchsee shore with great lake views. One of the most scenic and enjoyable stretches of the whole route — nice and smooth tarmac.

The Schluchsee is the largest natural lake in the Black Forest. The route passes close to its shores — a serene and scenic spot worth taking in as you ride through.

A very nice bike path! And, of course, with few inclines. Please note: Currently (autumn 2025), the shortcut in Lenzkirch via the sewage treatment plant is closed due to construction work.
