Gravel riding

The loop begins with a ride to Mitteltal and along the Ellbach stream up to Ellbachsee. From there, the route continues a little further up to the Black Forest High Road to Schliffkopf.

Once at the top, the route takes you from the Steinmäuerle viewing platform along the 1,000-meter path to Ruhestein (900 meters). After the approximately 10-kilometer descent to Obertal-Buhlbach, another climb awaits you to the Walterhütte (785 meters).

Back in Mitteltal, the route changes sides to the summer side path and takes you through undulating terrain back to Baiersbronn.

September 12, 2023,Black Forest - Baiersbronner Ruhestein Gravel

Seven climbs and the last one got me, even though it was the only one on tarmac. 9-15% grade and was wiped...it was a long 985m. Spectacular rides, wish my legs were a bit stronger!

September 1, 2022,Tour von/nach Freudenstadt, über Baiersbronn, Ruhestein und Kniebis

A round trip from / to Freudenstadt, via Baiersbronn, Ruhestein, Kniebis .. Wonderful tour to go well without electricity. And the views are worth all the effort... You have to experience it... :)
