Biking Trails in Southwest GermanyCycling Towards Happiness
Bike Trails NearbyLong Seasons, Long Trails
How much time do you need to bike across Baden-Württemberg? As much as you want. With mountains, nature reserves, orchards, juniper heaths, and vineyards, Southwest Germany has plenty to offer. And so do the trails: sweat your way up the ridges of the Swabian Jura or coast downhill on your mountain bike in the Black Forest. Scenic places like Schauinsland or Geiernest remind us to look beyond our handlebars while cycling. And just around the next bend of the bike trail? There’s always another surprise waiting – maybe a farm café or a cozy rest stop.
