Calw – Stuttgart‑Feuerbach (RadNETZ)

A handy RadNETZ link from the Black Forest edge to Stuttgart. This route rolls from Calw to Feuerbach, mixing forest paths, quiet farm roads, and calm streets. You’ll get that classic Northern Black Forest feel at the start, then glide through the Heckengäu’s open fields before dropping into the Stuttgart basin.

Most of it is paved, with a few short gravel bits and the odd wooden bridge or paving stones. Touring and gravel bikes are perfect. Road bikes are fine—just take it easy on the brief unpaved sections. Riding toward Stuttgart feels like a gentle net downhill, but expect a few punchy rollers either way.

Nice stops: Calw’s half‑timbered old town, orchard views en route, and cafés once you hit Feuerbach. From there you’ve got easy S‑Bahn/U‑Bahn links and quick access to Killesberg Park or the Neckar valley routes.

It’s a signposted RadNETZ BW connection, so wayfinding is straightforward. Pack water, lights for the shaded forest bits, and enjoy the mix of scenery without too much traffic.
