Chanderli Cycle Route: Wittlingen–Kandern

A simple, scenic link from Wittlingen to Kandern in the Kandertal, right on the edge of the Black Forest. Expect mostly paved riding with a mix of quiet roads and shared paths, plus a short busier stretch—nothing dramatic. There’s a modest bit of climbing, then easy rolling into town.

The route threads through fields and orchards typical of Markgräflerland, with big views toward the foothills. It’s a handy connector for a quick spin, a commute, or as part of a longer ride toward Lörrach and the Rhine valley.

In Kandern, you’re in a small spa town known for pottery and the heritage Kandertalbahn steam train—locals call it the “Chanderli” when it runs on select days. Grab a coffee or ice cream in the center before heading back or continuing your tour.
