Etzenbacher Höhe
Description
The tour starts in the picturesque village of Staufen. From here, you cycle along cycle paths to Münstertal and then up the valley of the same name. You pass the village of Spielwiese and then continue uphill along the valley floor of the Neumagen stream. In this way you reach Giesshübel with its inn. Note: At weekends or on nice vacation days, there can be a lot of traffic on the route from Spielweg and the road is narrow. It is then advisable to take the gravel road ascent from Spielweg to Giesshübel. The ridge just above the inn is the highest point of the tour and offers a great panoramic view of the Upper Black Forest.
Now it's time for the descent over the long ridge that rides all the way to Staufen. The trails are a little wider at the start and a little rough in places, but the further downhill you ride, the more attractive the route becomes. It starts to flow after the hill at Sonnhaldeeck at the latest. You whizz through the forest and keep getting great views of the Upper Black Forest. The route is a mix of great single trails and gravel road sections. The final section from Etzenbacher Höhe down to Staufen is particularly fun - a fast, super-flowing single trail that leads right into the town.
Note: The tour is located in Baden-Württemberg with the legal requirement of a two-meter rule. This tour contains elements that do not comply with this regulation. Rather, it reflects routes that are ridden by local mountain bikers. Compliance with the regulations is the responsibility of each individual mountain biker.

At the beginning, the route consisted of lots of gravel and forest roads. We had to wait a long time for the first interesting trail. The trail became interesting in the last third, down into the charming village of Staufen with interesting trails. A few hairpin bends await the experienced biker before the finish. But even that is not too difficult an obstacle.
Generally good trail condition. However, very dusty in the dry fall.
