Linachtalsperre Dam

Highlight • Monument

Not just a dam, but a piece of history and a structure that rightfully deserves its protected status. The dam is the first and only arched inline dam in Germany with a sloping water face. While it was actually destined for "controlled decay" in the 1970s, it underwent extensive restoration starting in 2006. It's a fantastic highlight on a road cycling tour (with a scenic approach), but also ideal for family outings, including a visit to the hydropower educational trail that circles the lake.

View of Linach Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Linachtalsperre is quite unique because of its unusual construction as a row of vaulted dams and is definitely worth a detour for that reason alone. The entire route through the Linachstal and Mäderstal valleys is an absolute recommendation for racing bikes, a wonderful route, well paved and very quiet.

Linachtal Scenic Road and Linachtal Dam

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

In the Black Forest there are countless beautiful side valleys that are relatively well developed in terms of transport and are therefore just waiting to be explored on a racing bike. A prime example of this is the Linachtal. Here in the central Black Forest, racing cyclists are not expected to face a terrifying pass, but it is worth mentioning and recommending because of its beauty.

Katzensteigstraße

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Katzensteigstraße is a highly recommended alternative to the parallel B500 - practically traffic-free, beautifully landscaped and seasoned with a few sporty ramps, the route up and down is a real pleasure. Currently (as of March 2020) the road is in the best condition, the first kilometers to Furtwangen are still wide and two-lane, later the road becomes significantly narrower and takes on more of a dirt road.
