Schiltach–Rottweil Cycle Route (RadNETZ)

Scenic ride across the Black Forest from Schiltach to Rottweil on Baden‑Württemberg’s RadNETZ. Expect steady hills (around 700 m of climbing) and flowing descents through forest and river valleys. It’s mostly smooth asphalt with lots of quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, plus some paths and tracks; you’ll hit the odd stretch of paving stones or cobbles.

Great for intermediate riders on touring, fitness, or gravel bikes; road bikes are fine with a bit of care on the rougher bits. You’ll roll past half‑timbered Schiltach on the Kinzig and finish in historic Rottweil—Baden‑Württemberg’s oldest town—with views toward the Thyssenkrupp Testturm. Most of it feels calm, with only short links on busier roads.

Rideable in either direction. Bring water and lights for shaded forest sections, and enjoy a classic Black Forest traverse.
