Quite a long climb with moderate gradients on the B500 (Schwartzwaldhochstrasse). The road is wide and perfectly surfaced. It can be very busy with cars and motorbikes at weekends. The lower part from Geroldsau is the most interesting: the views are unobstructed and the slopes are steeper. Above 550m, the road consists mainly of long false flats, with a few 5-6％ passages. On the plateau, at around 900m, you can admire the panorama over the plain. After the Hochkopf (930m), the road continue... read more

Quite a long climb with moderate gradients on the B500 (Schwartzwaldhochstrasse).
The road is wide and perfectly surfaced. It can be very busy with cars and motorbikes at weekends.
The lower part from Geroldsau is the most interesting: the views are unobstructed and the slopes are steeper. Above 550m, the road consists mainly of long false flats, with a few 5-6％ passages. On the plateau, at around 900m, you can admire the panorama over the plain.
After the Hochkopf (930m), the road continues towards the Mummelsee and the Hornis Grinde to the south.
Note: Geroldsau has a drinking water fountain (200m south of the church).

Assez longue montée avec des pentes modérées sur la route nationale 500 ( B500, Schwartzwaldhochstrasse).
La route est large et parfaitement asphaltée. Elle peut être très fréquentée par les voitures et motos le week-end.
La partie basse à partir de Geroldsau est la plus intéressante : la vue est dégagée et les pentes sont plus soutenue. Au-dessus de 550m, la route est surtout constituée de longs faux-plats, avec quelques passages à 5-6％. Sur le plateau, vers 900m, vous pouvez admirer le panorama sur la plaine.
Après le Hochkopf (930m), la route se poursuit vers le Mummelsee et la Hornis Grinde au sud.
A noter : à Geroldsau se trouve une fontaine d'eau potable (à 200m au sud de l'église).
