Naturparke-Gravel-Crossing Tag 8 - Von Triberg nach Buchenbach

From this stage of the Nature Park Gravel Crossing, you are on the road in the Southern Black Forest Nature Park! From Triberg, it's just under 55 km and over 1500 m of ascent through typical Black Forest scenery to today's stage finish in Buchenbach in the beautiful Dreisamtal valley.

From the watchmaking town of Triberg, the route covers just under 55 km and over 1500 meters in altitude through typical Black Forest scenery to Buchenbach in the beautiful Dreisamtal valley. Right at the start of the stage, the first highlight of the day awaits you in the heart of the town of Triberg: Germany's highest waterfalls. The water of the Gutach cascades over 160 m into the valley, foaming and thundering in seven stages. The world's first largest cuckoo clock is also just a short detour (approx. 500 m) from the route. From Triberg, the route continues uphill via Schonach through a mosaic of forests and meadows past traditional Black Forest farms to St. Martin's Chapel near Furtwangen. This is the source of the Breg, which joins the Brigach downstream and marks the beginning of the Danube. The Höhengasthof Kolmenhof inn at the source is a good spot for a first breather - including a handy Regiomat. The next 10 km are downhill to the Simonswälder Tal valley before the crisp ascent to the Kandel - the mountain of strength - with its 1241 m and great views awaits you. It's worth making a detour to the new info point at the top of the pass, where you can find lots of information about the special natural environment of the Kandel and the Southern Black Forest Nature Park. After the energy-sapping ascent, you roll towards St. Peter, which is hard to miss thanks to its striking baroque church. Through the Unteribental valley, you finally reach today's stage finish in Buchenbach.
