Titisee and Hexenlochmulle roundtrip out of Col de Bussang
This route was brought to you by:
RouteXpert Guy Heyns - Adv. RouteXpert
Last edit: 31-08-2022
Route Summary You visit the Titisee (nice!) and the Hexenlochmuhle, two attractive places in the Black Forest. The fact that you also pass the beautiful Feldbergpass is also nicely discussed.
The route is 342 kilometers long and actually more reserved for the iron butts among us. With breaks included, it will take you almost 10 hours, but you will still have a nice trip.
In any case, it is a nice endurance test route that also passes by interesting places, has excellent road surfaces and the necessary technical twists for the tires.
In that sense, this route is worth 5 stars, at least if you think you have an iron ass.
We don't hide the fact that newbies and wimps don't mind letting them pass. 350 kilometers along winding roads does require - certainly towards the end - a certain stamina. If you doubt that you have the necessary stamina, it is wise to let this route pass you.

RouteXpert Review But it is and remains a beautiful route that will give you a lot of pleasure.
Immediately after the start, the bends of the Col de Bussang are waiting for you to warm up the rubber. A first refueling is required and a short, but very nice fragment of the Route des Crêtes leads you past Hartmannswillerkopf, a sad cemetery where about 30,000 young boys lost their lives in an absolutely pointless battle. Well worth a photo stop and short contemplation... Those guys fought for your (motorcycle) freedom today...
After the passage of the Route des Crêtes, you have no choice but to pass through the Rhine valley. Interesting to know is that you pass the Canal d'Alsace and the Rhine itself.
The Canal d'Alsace is about 50 kilometers long and ensures that the fast-flowing Rhine zone remains navigable between Basel in Switzerland and Strasbourg in France. Larger ships find their way along this canal in this heavily industrialized area.
The Rhine is – after the Danube – the largest river in Europe. It originates in the Swiss Alps and flows through France, Germany and the Netherlands to the North Sea. A large part of the border between France and Germany is formed by this river.
A short coffee stop is definitely recommended after crossing the Rhine valley because after Badenweiler and Schweighof the side of the tires is put to the test again.... On mainly green Michelin roads you will be taken to the Feldberg Pass, the highest point of this route. You are now really in the middle of the Black Forest Nature Reserve.
A lovely descent, not too difficult, then takes you further to the Titisee, a natural glacial lake and a tourist attraction. It is really pleasant to stay in the small town of the same name on the banks of Lake Titisee. Don't forget to buy the famous Black Forest ham here. Delicious!
After Lake Titisee, you have the option of shortening the route by about 45 kilometers by not taking the exit to Hexenlochmuhle and continuing directly in the direction of Freiburg. You will automatically return to the route near Kirchzarten. You may miss some nice slopes and bends – and a visit to the Hexenlochmuhle in addition – but don't worry, even after Kirchzaten you will have to process a particularly pleasant part of the Black Forest mountains before you pass back the Rhine valley.
The Hexenlochmuhle itself is a pleasant place to stay and a well-known stopping place for motorcyclists in the Black Forest. The drive there is especially beautiful and shows you the Black Forest in all its glory and in full regalia. If time and weather permit it, it is and remains worth a nice detour. And, as mentioned before, the way back to the tops of the Black Forest from here is also worth the effort.
After the return passage back through the Rhine valley, the mountain feast starts again in Guebwiller in France. You first drive along the main road along the first hills of the Vosges, but soon the climb starts back to 'Le Markstein', a well-known stopping place and pleasant moment of relaxation. A ride in the Tobogan (time permitting) is a lot of fun here!
After Markstein, the very nice descent to the Kruth Wildenstein Lake follows, after which you can let the tires cool down again in the relaxed ride in the direction of the Col de Bussang hotel. A final refueling allows you to replenish your fuel supply, after which you can enjoy a relaxing evening in the hotel.
This ride to the Titisee and the Hexenlochmuhle is definitely recommended for those who don't mind winding 350 kilometers through a very winding course. However, do not underestimate the difficulty of this route. It is certainly not recommended for inexperienced riders who do not have the necessary stamina. Even experienced riders will feel it towards the end. Please keep this in mind. If you do, it will surely become a pleasant memory and an unmistakable experience on your record.

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 ).
