Before you go

Popular with bikes at weekends and speed limits are enforced. Weekday mornings are the time.

Which way round

South from Baden-Baden, so the Mummelsee comes mid-run and you finish near Freudenstadt.

When it’s open

Normally open all year, though snow can close it for a day or two.

The route

  1. Baden-Baden entry
  2. Mummelsee
  3. Freudenstadt exit
