The first climbs start in Münstertal. From here it is 20 km up and down to Belchen.
At Wiederner Eck at 1035 m, we turn off and after a few kilometres take the turnoff to Belchen's cable cars.
At the large car park we think we can't go any further, but a German lady on a road bike knows the route.
It's a bit unpaved and just past the barrier for the last 4 pretty steep kilometres to the Belchenhaus, a restaurant on the summit.
The view here is formidable. By the way, quite a few cyclists ride up here.

De eerste klimmeters beginnen in Münstertal. Vanaf hier is het 20 km op en neer naar Belchen.
Bij Wiederner Eck op 1035 m slaan we af en nemen na een paar kilometer de afslag naar de kabelbanen van Belchen.
Op de grote parkeerplaats denken we dat we niet verder kunnen, maar een Duitse dame op een racefiets weet de route.
Het is een stukje onverhard en even langs de slagboom voor de laatste 4 behoorlijk steile kilometers naar het Belchenhaus, een restaurant op de top.
Het uitzicht is hier formidabel. Er rijden hier overigens aardig wat fietsers omhoog.

A long, steady climb of 17 km with nice views of the valley along the way, followed by a 3 km descent to the Belchen Seilbahn. Arriving at the cable car, you briefly have to cross a stretch of gravel, leaving you wondering whether you are following the correct route. Before you can answer that, the gravel strip ends and you are back on normal asphalt. So don't let this put you off. What follows is another 4 km climb to one of the highest peaks of the Black Forest. This last section is also fairly even, but with a slightly higher gradient. At the top, the reward consists of panoramic views and the opportunity to have something to eat and/or drink at Gasthof Belchen.

Een lange, gelijkmatige klim van 17 km met onderweg mooie uitzichten over het dal, gevolgd door een afdaling van 3 km naar de Belchen Seilbahn. Aangekomen bij de kabelbaan moet je even over een stukje gravel, waarbij je je afvraagt of je wel de juiste route volgt. Voordat je daar een antwoord op kunt verzinnen, houdt de gravelstrook alweer op en rijdt je weer op normaal asfalt. Laat je hier dus niet door afschrikken. Wat volgt is nog eens 4 km klimmen naar een van de hoogste toppen van het Zwarte Woud. Ook dit laatste gedeelte is vrij gelijkmatig, maar met een iets hoger stijgingspercentage. Boven aangekomen bestaat de beloning uit een weids uitzicht en de gelegenheid om wat te eten en/of te drinken bij Gasthof Belchen.

Superb climb. Very long, but nowhere really steep, so easy to do.
The last 4 km, it becomes more open and you have a beautiful view. The Vosges, Jura and Alps can be seen when the weather is clear enough.

Schitterende klim. Wel erg lang maar nergens echt steil, dus goed te doen.
De laatste 4km wordt het steeds meer open en heb je een mooi uitzicht. De Vogezen, Jura en Alpen zijn te zien bij voldoende helder weer.

Nice climb that starts calmly in the valley and gradually gets steeper, but never really steep...very nice views...at the top of the parking lot right down to the sign Belchenbahn and there right steeply up, behind the cable car along the gravel path and then 4 km climbing to the top...breathtaking views

Mooie klim die gezapig in het dal begint en geleidelijk steiler wordt maar nooit echt steil..zeer mooie vergezichten..boven aan de parking rechts naar beneden tot aan het bord Belchenbahn en daar rechts steil omhoog, achter de kabelbaan door langs het grindpad en dan nog 4 km klimmen tot de top..adembenemende vergezichten
