Black Forest - Rottweil

The Black Forest (Schwarzwald) is a wonderful region for motorcycle touring, with forest-covered hills, beautiful lakes, winding roads and sensational views. Our two rides take you through this scenic part of Germany, with stops at some of the highlights along the way. Whether you prefer flowing curves or simply enjoying the landscape at your own pace, the Black Forest has plenty to offer. And with Rottweil as your base, you are perfectly placed to explore the region!

Stretching around 160 km (100 miles) from north to south, the Black Forest is a beautiful region of hills, lakes and dense forests. It reaches from the spa town of Baden-Baden in the north to the Swiss border in the south, between the Rhine Valley and the area around Lake Constance. Its highest peak is the Feldberg, at 1,493 metres (4,898 ft).

We had read that this corner of Germany was made for slow touring along twisty roads with sensational views. We are not sure whether our motorcycle tours count as slow touring, but we can promise you two fantastic rides! You will discover some of the Schwarzwald’s highlights, enjoy lovely roads through the countryside and have plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the scenery.

Rottweil is an excellent base for exploring the region. The town is famous for its historic centre, traditional buildings and long history. And does the name sound familiar? Rottweiler dogs take their name from this town! It is a lovely place to spend the evening after a day of riding and a convenient starting point for discovering the Black Forest.

As we already explored the Northern part of the Black Forest in ride 1, ride 2 is diving into the more South part of the Black Forest. Enough very nice touring to do in that area as well and the stops in this ride are all about the water in this area. Coffeestop at the source of the Donau, lunchstop at the Titisee and a last stop to stretch your legs at Germany's highest waterfall. What is not to love about the Black Forest and enjoying it in a motorcycle tour?
