RouteXpert Review First we follow the Northern B500, better known as the Schwarzwaldhochstraße.
The name Schwarzwaldhochstraße was first used in 1930 after the completion of the section of the road between Hundseck and Untersmatt. The road made access to the high Black Forest easier. Under the Third Reich, further construction was done for strategic reasons, including completing the piece between Ruhestein and Alexanderschanze (between 1938 and 1941). The entire route from Baden-Baden to Freudenstadt was completed in 1952.
This road starts in Baden-Baden and rises quickly to the most important ridge of the northern Black Forest and reaches the summit at the Bühlerhöhe. In clear weather there is a wide view over the plain of the Rhine towards the Vosges.
From the Bühlerhöhe, the Hochstraße runs at an altitude between 800 and 1,000 meters above sea level.
At the bottom of the highest mountain in the northern Black Forest, the Hornisgrinde 1,164 meters high, the road reaches the almost circular Mummelsee, a kettle valley from the last ice age
The road then continues over the Schliffkopf and Kniebis, past Zuflucht and the Alexanderschanze to end up in the city of Freudenstadt.
We then follow the B294 and then continue on the B33 to follow the B500 back to Switzerland at Trimberg im Swarzwald. The remaining part of the B500 traverses the southern Black Forest.
We pass on the Titisee and the Schuchsee and the viewpoint Gupfen viewpoint. When the weather is nice you have a wonderful view of the Swiss Alps, the Black Forest, the Hotzenwald and the Rhine plain.
The route ends again on the Rhine, which this time forms the border between Germany and Switzerland.

Baden-Württemberg
About this region
Baden-Württemberg (; German: [ˌbaːdn̩ ˈvʏʁtəmbɛʁk] (listen)), commonly shortened to BW or BaWü, is a German state (Bundesland) in Southwest Germany, east of the Rhine, which forms the southern part of Germany's western border with France. With more than 11.07 million inhabitants as of 2019 across a total area of nearly 35,752 km2 (13,804 sq mi), it is the third-largest German state by both area (behind Bavaria and Lower Saxony) and population (behind North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria). As a federated state, Baden-Württemberg is a partly-sovereign parliamentary republic. The largest city in Baden-Württemberg is the state capital of Stuttgart, followed by Mannheim and Karlsruhe. Other major cities are Freiburg im Breisgau, Heidelberg, Heilbronn, Pforzheim, Reutlingen, Tübingen, and Ulm.
What is now Baden-Württemberg was formerly the historical territories of Baden, Prussian Hohenzollern, and Württemberg. Baden-Württemberg became a state of West Germany in April 1952 by the merger of Württemberg-Baden, South Baden, and Württemberg-Hohenzollern. These states had just been artificially created by the Allies after World War II out of the existing traditional states Baden and Württemberg by their separation over different occupation zones.
Baden-Württemberg is especially known for its strong economy with various industries like car manufacturing, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, the service sector, and more. It has the third highest gross regional product (GRP) in Germany. Part of the Four Motors for Europe, some of the largest German companies are headquartered in Baden-Württemberg, including Daimler, Porsche, Bosch and SAP.
The sobriquet Ländle (a diminutive of the word "Land" in the local Swabian, Alemannic and Franconian dialects) is sometimes used as a synonym for Baden-Württemberg.

The Black Forest, who hasn't heard of it? The Black Forest is a densely forested area and low mountain range in southwestern Germany, located in the state of Baden-Württemberg, on the Rhine and the French border. It is the largest low mountain range in Germany. Geologically, it is related to the Vosges Mountains, which lie on the French side of the Rhine. The highest peak of the Black Forest is the Feldberg with a height of 1493 meters above sea level. The Black Forest is the largest forest area in Germany and consists mainly of pine and spruce trees. The Black Forest is known as one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany. A small part in the north is protected as the Schwarzwald National Park. The Romans called the densely forested mountain range with its distinctive dark conifers Silva Nigra - "the Black or Dark Forest or impenetrable forest", which to them was ominous and almost impenetrable. The German word Schwarzwald was used for the first time in a document from the Swiss monastery of St. Gallen from the year 868. A well-known car route is the Schwarzwald-Hochstraße, B 500 and the Uhrenstraße. The Black Forest is known worldwide for the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.
There are also several lakes in the Black Forest, namely: Titisee, Glaswaldsee, Mummelsee, Kirnbergsee, Feldsee, Schluchsee and the Hotzenwald.
The highest peaks in the Black Forest are: Feldberg (1493 m), Seebuck (1448 m), Herzogenhorn (1415 m), Belchen (1414 m), Schauinsland (1284 m), Kandel (1243 m) and the Hornisgrinde (1164 m ).
