Black Forest - Rottweil
Measuring 160 km / 100 miles from top to bottom the Black Forest - Schwarzwald - is a lovely expanse of hills, lakes and forest, topping out at the 1.493m / 4.898 feet Feldberg. It reaches from the spa town of Baden-Baden to the Swiss border, and from the Rhine almost to Lake Constance. We had read that this corner of Germany is made for "slow touring on one of the many twisty roads with sensational views". I don’t know if our motorcycle tours count for "slow touring", but we have 2 amazing rides in this area for some very enjoyable touring with stops at some of the Schwarzwald highlights. And all this with Rottweil (sounds familiar?) as a nice central point!
