For anyone looking to stay in the Black Forest I can highly recommend Pension Williams, great location, excellent view from room balcony, top class service – the best I have ever experienced, Angela and David just cannot do enough for you, we had lifts to restaurants and stations and nothing was too much trouble for them.
We liked it so much we returned this year on way back from the Alps and one couple from our meet last year decided to get married here, so we will be back for the third year in a row in 2011, my mate had been there the year before so will be making his fourth trip.

Great View from most Rooms:
Although not bikers they certainly know how to look after us!
On the first night David gave us the run down of where to eat and then took us up the road to a Steakhouse and arranged for the owner to bring us back, we then set about his honesty bar with the help of two other couples staying. The evenings took on a life of their own with 6-10 bikers bashing the bar stock and having a laugh, this made the holiday even more special.
Off-bike, David took us to station to save us a 25 minute walk and told us to call when we return and he would collect us. Public transport was free using pass provided by David at Hotel so we went to Baden-Baden and spent an afternoon relaxing in the springs Google “caracalla baden” for more info.
We decided to visit the Europark, a giant Alton Towers only much better, except the German kids had not gone back to School and it was rammed so we missed out on a couple of the biggest rides as we could not be bothered to queue. Worth a visit if you like that sort of thing.
We passed through some lovely valleys, up and down some great mountains and stopped off to look at the Kaiserstuhl Formations. Great fun on a Sportsbike, but I would guess every bit as good on a GS.

The Black Forest lacks the sheer awesomeness of the Alps, but for UK riders is fairly easy to reach and much smaller than the Alps (about half the size of Wales) so a four day trip is enough to cover much of the area, a week is plenty of time.
