Heselbach-Trail (Baiersbronn)

North of Baiersbronn are a series of super-flowing single trails, which are linked together in this tour to form a large loop.

Description

The base of the tour is Klosterreichenbach, from where it goes straight uphill to Hartwald and the start of the Heselbach Trail. This gives a nice insight into what to expect on the tour in terms of trail fun: flowy, agile, fun. Never too difficult, never boring. This is how you wind your way down the valley. Finally, you reach a gravel road above Heselbach, which you follow uphill until the Erzwegle branches off to the left. This again super-flowy trail ends not far from Besenfelder Strasse, which you cross and climb up to the start of the Eichbosch Trail. This trail is also of the same type as the Erzwegle: an unparalleled flow grenade! It ends at the bottom of the valley near Huzenbach, where the return journey on the opposite side of the valley awaits.

On the return journey, you initially climb quite a long way up on gravel roads via Röter Kopf to Steinmauerleshütte. The Weiherhütten trail starts a little below. Lots of flow and many bends take us down to Dommersbach. And yet another ascent, the last one of the day. On gravel roads, we crank up to the Höllkopf, where the long descent into the Turbachtal begins. The first, short section is not on an official route for once (all the other trails of the day are), but you soon reach the start of the final Härlisberg trail. Curve after curve, you wind your way down the mountain and finally roll comfortably back to Klosterreichenbach.

Conclusion: The route is a combination of great and typical Baiersbronn trails, but you have to put up with quite long gravel road sections in between.

We went on this really beautiful ride today. Our starting and ending point was Baiersbronn. You have to work your way up to the trails via forest roads. The descent then takes you along well-maintained, narrow paths. No thorns, no overgrowth, and yet the ground remains largely natural. It’s perfect. Highly recommended.
