Hohe Möhr
Description
The starting point of the tour is Zell im Wiesental, which can be easily reached by S-Bahn from the Basel region, for example. From Zell, the 550-metre ascent up to the Hohe Möhr begins immediately. The ascent is on a moderately ascending gravel road throughout. Only the last section is on a single trail, but it is easy to ride. The summit of the Hohe Möhr is unspectacular in itself, were it not for the viewing tower. From here, there is a great view of the Upper Black Forest to the north and the Basel region to the south. On a clear day, the Alps form the horizon.
The descent to Hausen is fun. The S1 single trail rides super smoothly through the forest. Smooth and easy - a great trail for all ability levels. Good riders provide the challenge with a little more speed. With the exception of a short gravel road section, the trail rides in this manner all the way down to the valley floor. This is where you start the return journey to Zell. Either along the valley floor, but this is a bit boring. It is better to take the asphalt road up to Raitbach and continue on a gravel road to Raitbacher Höhe, which you already know from the descent. This is the starting point of the descent to Zell, a mix of gravel roads and easy, flowing singletrack.
Conclusion: a wonderful singletrail tour just outside Basel, where even less experienced mountain bikers can experience a great singletrail feeling.

Rode it in May 25th, very cool. It's best to start in Hausen im Wiesenthal (shortens the journey) and take the first trail with 200 meters of elevation gain. If you don't want to do that, pedal directly to Zell and then it's only 500 meters uphill. The downhill is flowy and fun - highly recommended. If you want to spend the night in the bus, there is a beautiful forest parking lot in Zell - almost on the trail.
