Freiburg-Umrundung
Description
The starting point of the tour is the city center of Freiburg. From here, you cycle along cycle paths in the direction of Sankt Georgen and climb up to the ruins of Schneeburg Castle. The route continues to Schöneberg at the south-western tip of Freiburg, from where you have a great view of the city center.
The first trail descent, although quite short, leads down to Wittnau. After a short asphalt section towards the town center, the ascent to Horben begins. After 8.5 kilometers, the asphalt road changes to a gravel road, which takes you to the Schauinsland Pass road. You cross this to reach the "Badish Moon Rising" trail, one of the legendary descents in Freiburg. The trail is smooth and varied, peppered with short climbs. After the ascent to Kybfelsen, the route continues on the Canadian Trail, which rides permanently downhill and is excellently laid out. This takes you to Freiburg's town hall, where you change sides of the valley.
The ascent to Rosskopf, known for its Boarderline descent, begins opposite the Dreisam river. In this case, however, you take the Hubbelfuchs trail on the back of the Rosskopf. The path starts off a little bumpy, but then becomes fast, flowy and straight over the ridge. The final descent leads to the Hotel Mercure on the outskirts of Freiburg.
If you don't have much energy left, you can roll straight back to the city center. More worthwhile, however, is the moderate gravel road ascent that rides near Ludwigshöhe to Hexenwegle, a great serpentine final section. This path takes you to the Schwabentor at the entrance to the city center, where you can enjoy the city life at the end of the tour.
Conclusion: A long, impressive and varied tour that can also be shortened. It offers a great insight into the surroundings of Freiburg and impresses with a very high proportion of trails.
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.

The first descent is actually quite short; you cover half the elevation gain on gravel and asphalt. The climb toward Schauinsland follows a very long road ascent. Badishmoon and Canadian are, of course, great trails. You’ll reach the Rosskopf in no time. The GPX track still shows an older version of the Hubbelfuchs, but you can’t miss it. My conclusion: Next time, I’d ride straight up to Schauinsland without any detours.
