Schauinsland-Oberried loop from Himmelreich — legendary passes in the Black Forest

Road cycling

This tour is a wonderful introduction to the world of legendary Black Forest training passes. For trained cyclists from Freiburg and the surrounding area, the tour offers the perfect after-work ride. You climb the Schauinsland, Freiburg's local mountain, which, with a good 15-kilometer climb of almost 1,000 meters in altitude, is certainly a sporting challenge.

You start in Himmelreich at the train station and cycle easily before you start the sweaty climb. Alternatively, you can also start in Kirchzarten and shorten the tour a bit. Once at the top, the finest Black Forest panorama awaits you. Then it goes rapidly downhill in steep hairpin bends and you roll back to the starting point with relish.

Dreisam Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Without a traffic light from west to east through Freiburg – great! However, be careful and keep your eyes open: the path is not always wide enough for the sometimes really high volume of bicycle traffic.

View from Holzschlägermatte

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Holzschlägermatte does indeed offer a great view - actually almost more beautiful than at the Schauinsland Pass, where a lot of forest blocks the view. However, you are already well over half of the ascent here - the Holzschlägermatte is at 1,000 meters - 550 meters from Bohrer are behind you, almost 200 are still to be climbed.

View from Schauinsland

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Schauinsland is 1,284 meters high and is the local mountain of the university town of Freiburg im Breisgau, located on the edge of the southern Black Forest. The drive up to the pass (1,202 meters) is perfect for an after-work ride.

Oberried Church and Cemetery

Highlight • Religious Site

Oberried is at the entrance to the Zastler and Brugga valleys. The latter leads up to the Schauinsland or Notschrei, the former offers a premium climb at its best to the Feldberg-Nordhang and up to the Rinken, which offers almost alpine flair, including a roughly one-kilometer-long gravel road section, which is generally suitable for racing bikes. In Oberried itself there are places to stop for refreshments, but no shops or petrol stations.

View of Oberried

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cycle path takes you past the green meadows and fields between Oberried and Kirchzarten. All around you have a wonderful view of the surrounding, forested mountains of the southern Black Forest. You might see a plane being pulled into the air as you drive past the glider airfield.

Dietenbach lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From the Kirchzarter district of Dietenbach, a small road runs parallel to the L126, wonderfully quiet with a few waves in the direction of Oberried. Unfortunately not all the way to Oberried, but still far more beautiful than the rather unpleasant L126 with its rather narrow bike path.

Perfect day for an after-work lap on the Schauinsland 😍 We didn't leave until around 7.30 p.m., so the light was terrific! Uphill we drove up the classic route of the Schauinslandkönig, then we went downhill via Hofsgrund and Oberried back to Freiburg. It's just so so cool what you can do here in the evening 😍 I just love Freiburg!

There was no "looking out into the countryside" today - in the fog and rain we at least had the road largely to ourselves. Only the birdsong completely escalated. Ar...cold descent to Oberried - Becca arrived at the bottom frozen and had a whole body tremor, even her bike was shaking.🥶 But that's just how it is in late autumn ;)

The Schaui had to be again this year. Always gigantic. On the descent I finally dared to let it run: 73.4 km / h top :-) Totally crazy, but so cool 🤪 Fast into the new year ...

Translated by Google

Rode along for the first time, okay I've only been riding my racing bike for 2.5 years 😅 it was really a cool experience but also very hot and exhausting. But hey, I was there and improved my best time by 12 minutes 🕺

Translated by Google

Another tour was actually planned but ended with water in the shoes despite overcoats and aquaplaning after the Schaui 😑

Translated by Google

Nice tour in the morning, upstairs with a view of the fan mile (SC get the pot! 🏆) and a delicious reward at Café Steimle in Oberried.

Translated by Google

Always a challenge, even if not nearly as strong as the Kandel from Waldkirch.

The Schauinsland in the Black Forest is the local mountain of Freiburg im Breisgau at 1283.9 m above sea level and is a tourist destination. It used to be called "Erzkasten" because of the silver mining; the name "Schouwesland" first appeared in 1347. It is located around ten kilometers southeast of Freiburg city center.
