Sankt Georgen – Hornberg
Description
We start at Sankt Georgen station, where we will return later by train. First, we ride through the village of Sankt Georgen up to the tennis courts, where we are already immersed in typical Black Forest flair. The route continues through dense forests on a mix of flowing trails, gravel paths and country roads past the Sommerauer Höhe to the Ecken group of houses. Here you will come across a weathered no-biking sign at the farm. You can either push along this section of gravel road to the edge of the forest or ride around it via Tiefental and return to the route on a gravel road. A flowing singletrail begins at the edge of the forest near Ecken and rides down to Nussbach. Now you follow the valley floor, in between again on a singletrail, and reach the village of Triberg, where the second part of the tour begins. In other words: Ascent to the plateau near Schonach (400 meters in altitude). This leads uphill on gravel roads, but there are also trail sections in the hilly terrain at the top. This character remains on the transfer over to Bäracker, where the great and long singletrail descent to Hornberg begins a little later. This section forms the final section of this beautiful tour full of Black Forest ambience. The return journey is on the Black Forest Railway (rides every two hours)

I rode the trail today. The scenery is beautiful; along the way, you see everything that makes the Black Forest special. The trails are easy, but the transfer sections on gravel and asphalt are a bit too long for my taste. On the trail down to Hornberg, there’s currently a tree lying across the path that can’t be gone around and has to be climbed over—it’s not exactly easy.
A great tour that can be refined with a few short trails: At track kilometer 10.9, about 200m before the main road, turn left up the small hill under which the railroad line runs in a short tunnel: At the top, there is a pavilion with a view towards the station and a not-so-trivial short hairpin bend trail. At the end of this, at the Lidl supermarket, you come back onto the track.
There is also a rewarding (short) trail above Schonach at track kilometer 18.2 down to Schonach, where you can stop for a bite to eat if you are not hungry enough to reach the finish. You can get back to the track on the western edge of Schonach via Feldbergstrasse.
And finally: From Triberg train station, a great trail leads directly along the water towards Hornberg without the ascent to Schonach - just follow the blue diamond of the Franz-Göttler-Weg directly from the train station.
Ride on :-)
