View from Holzschlägermatte

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Holzschlägermatte does indeed offer a great view - actually almost more beautiful than at the Schauinsland Pass, where a lot of forest blocks the view. However, you are already well over half of the ascent here - the Holzschlägermatte is at 1,000 meters - 550 meters from Bohrer are behind you, almost 200 are still to be climbed.

View from Schauinsland

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Schauinsland is 1,284 meters high and is the local mountain of the university town of Freiburg im Breisgau, located on the edge of the southern Black Forest. The drive up to the pass (1,202 meters) is perfect for an after-work ride.

View over Hofsgrund

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you not only have a beautiful view over Hofsgrund in the direction of Feldberg, the small connecting road also leads directly and quite steeply up to the Schauinsland road L124. Recommended as a little change from the normal K4996 country road through Hofsgrund, but because of the rather rustic surface (10/2021) it is more uphill than downhill.

St. Peter Panorama

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This small Hoferschließungsweg is an attractive alternative to the direct descent from Kandel to Glottertal. Well paved leads the way over pastures with the best views, which extends to Feldberg, over to the pass between St. Peter and the Glottertal. Here you can either continue to St. Märgen or via St.Peter to Freiburg or directly to Glottertal. A little caution, in the curves like sand.

Kandel Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Kandel offers an ascent of quite alpine quality with the starting point in Waldkirch. A good 900 meters in altitude and up to 13% incline on a narrow mountain road demand one or the other drop of sweat. You will be rewarded with a great view from the high point at 1,200 meters down into the Elztal, the Rhine plain, across to the Vosges and, with good visibility, even to the Alps in the south.

The route from Waldkirch is also recommended for the ascent because of the quality of the roads. Currently (01/2022) it has numerous potholes and longitudinal cracks in the upper area, which make the descent quite rough. Renovation measures were in progress in 2019 and 2020 and so the first almost 350 meters in altitude and 3.6 kilometers from Waldkirch are smooth and freshly asphalted again. In general, the route is much wider in the direction of St. Peter/Glottertal, but here too the ravages of time are gnawing, and in some sections you have to be careful on the descent.

Kandel Serpentines

Highlight • Climb

One of the sporting highlights in the Black Forest is the north-west ascent to the Kandel from Waldkirch. Here you climb almost 1,000 meters over a distance of 12 kilometers. The asphalt isn't quite as good anymore, but that doesn't bother you so much uphill - with up to 18% it doesn't roll that well here anyway.
