Lossburg 5: Five Valleys Tour

A short, scenic spin through the northern Black Forest, linking Lossburg and Glatten with dips into five quiet valleys. Expect a relaxed mix of smooth village roads and forest/gravel tracks, with just a tiny stretch on a busier road. Climbing is modest (around 150 m), so it’s friendly for most riders on gravel, trekking, or sturdy city bikes. You’ll ride past meadows, spruce woods, and stream-filled hollows—classic Schwarzwald vibes without the big mountain grind. Starting in Lossburg (home to the Kinzig’s source) and swinging toward Glatten, this is a nice after-work loop or a warm-up if you’re based around Freudenstadt. Surfaces are roughly half paved, half gravel, so bring wider tires if you can. Good any time of year; watch for wet leaves or snow in winter. Simple, pretty, and over before your coffee gets cold.
