Spotguide Nordschwarzwald
The northern Black Forest is characterized by its extensive forest regions with numerous very flowing single trails. The Murg Valley between Baden-Baden and Baiersbronn in particular offers many opportunities, which can also be easily combined with the Murg Valley Railway. A great classic is Bad Wildbad with its downhill route, but also with numerous trail options in the region, especially in combination with Bad Liebenzell and Calw.
From a mountain biking perspective, the Baiersbronn region in the southern northern Black Forest has a very special significance. Here, mountain bikers are also the focus of tourism and numerous attractive mountain bike trails have been designated. Baiersbronn is considered a haven of bliss in the state of Baden-Württemberg's two-metre regulation.
On the opposite side of the Black Forest, also bordering the northern Black Forest to the south, lies the winegrowing village of Sasbachwalden. A strong mountain bike scene has developed here at the foot of the Hornisgrinde, which is home to the Alpirsbacher Schwarzwald Trail. This is one of the longest official bike trails in Germany.
Important to know: Large parts of the northern Black Forest are located in the Black Forest National Park. Cycling is permitted in this area, but only on the official, signposted routes. There is an explicit ban on biking on all other routes, especially on single trails. Although the trail ban applies throughout Baden-Württemberg due to the two-meter rule, the rangers strictly enforce the regulation in the national park.

Getting there
An important railroad line is the Murgtalbahn between Karlsruhe and Freudenstadt, which also includes Baiersbronn. Bad Herrenalb can also be easily reached by train from Karlsruhe on the Albtalbahn, while Bad Wildbad can be reached by train from Pforzheim on the Enztalbahn. In general, the city of Karlsruhe is a good starting point for public transport bikers with its numerous rail connections into the Black Forest.
The northern Black Forest (like the entire Black Forest) is very well developed for private transport. Baden-Baden has access to the A5 highway, and in the hinterland there is a well-developed road through almost every valley. Worth mentioning is the Black Forest High Road from Freudenstadt to Baden-Baden, which mainly serves tourist purposes, but also connects the individual regions well.
