Route Summary
The Black Forest (German: Schwarzwald) - the largest low mountain range in Germany - is a densely wooded area in southwest Germany, located in the state of Baden-Württemberg, on the Rhine and on the French border. With an area of nearly 10,000 km2 and heights of up to 1500m, beautiful roads must be constructed. And it is! This route covers part of it.
From Schonach im Schwarzwald on beautiful roads with even more beautiful views towards the south of the Black Forest towards Todtmoos and Sankt-Blasien, where a cathedral stands out among all the lush greenery.
Be surprised by all the beauty that the Black Forest has to offer.
At RP6 TT is of the opinion that it is not possible to turn right and that is why you drive 100m and turn. However, that is not necessary, you can and can just turn right.

RouteXpert Review
A route through the Black Forest cannot really be boring. Every street, every road offers you a fantastic driving adventure or a gigantic view. You often do not know what to expect after the beautiful bend you see in front of you. The beautiful, varied environment and beautiful roads make me appreciate this route with 4 stars. The route starts in Schonach im Schwarzwald, a place fairly central in the Black Forest. The route runs along beautiful winding roads along the Steinwasen summer toboggan run (dare we?), The Schulchsee and the Steinen bird park.
The Steinwasen summer toboggan run is definitely worth a visit. The park has several toboggan runs, it also has the longest suspension bridge in the world. Just stop here to see what kind of violence comes rushing down the mountain. The real dare devil is likely to buy an entrance ticket ...
Vogelpark Steinen is a bird park in the southern Black Forest. It is located in a valley in the municipality of Steinen between the districts of Schlächtenhaus and Weitenau. The site has an area of ten hectares. All kinds of birds live here, such as parrots, peacocks and owls, but also the sea eagle is present. The latter is part of a show, in which it is shown what an impressive bird of prey the sea eagle is. The shows are at 11am and 3pm.
The Schluchsee is a reservoir near St. Blasien in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is the largest in the Black Forest. The 63-meter-high dam was constructed from high-density concrete between 1929 and 1932. Walking over the dam gives a beautiful view over the lake. It is also possible to make a 75-minute cruise on the reservoir with the MS Schluchsee. For more information, see the link below.
In St. Blasien, between the pleasant greenery, St. Blasius, the namesake of the village, adorns. This former abbey church has an impressive facade and one of the largest domes in Europe. The beautiful pillars that exude a purity, together with the incomparable painting of this dome, can be called downright impressive.
The remains of the castle of Neu-Fürstenberg can be found near the town of Hammereisenbach. The castle was probably built around 1360 by the Counts of Fürstenberg on an earlier complex from the 12th century, around the connecting road between Baar and Breisgau. Nice to take a look.
Have fun on this tour!

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.

Top 5 Car and Motorcycle Routes in the Black Forest
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 ).
