À vélo de Villingen-Schwenningen à Donaueschingen

This ride takes you from Villingen-Schwenningen—a twin town known for its charming old town and Black Forest vibes—down to Donaueschingen, the spot where the mighty Danube River springs to life!

It’s a super manageable 17 km cruise, mostly on quiet roads and well-paved surfaces, so it’s friendly for road bikes. There’s a gentle downhill overall, perfect for anyone looking for a breezy ride. Expect a few short climbs, but with only around 77 meters of ascent, your legs won’t be complaining too much.

Rolling through the scenic countryside, you’ll pass fields, forests, and maybe even spot the beginning of the Danube before you reach Donaueschingen. Don’t miss the town’s grand palace or the famous Donauquelle (Danube source) fountain on your arrival—you earned a photo op!

All in all, it’s a peaceful ride loaded with local history, natural beauty, and Black Forest charm. Perfect for a relaxed half-day excursion!
