I've ridden once down through the Black Forest once. The roads are brilliant, but there may well be greater roads nearby. The route we took was vaguely North-South down the eastern side.

A couple of years ago, we rode back from the Alps on the Romantischestrasse. I really couldn't see what the fuss was about, to be honest - maybe some of the towns and villages along the way are lovely, but the road itself wasn't particularly a biking route.

You could ride back through the Vosges Mts in France and Ardennes in Belgium/Luxembourg instead - lovely scenery and roads.

Be aware some roads in the black forest region are closed on weekends to bikes due to tits using them as private race tracks and the resulting crashes and deaths

The roads around Tittisee (good place to stay)are fantastic, was there last year. We had a map showing the recommended biker roads but to be honest, just turn left or right and follow your nose, they're all twisty, scenic and enjoyable.

just get to Baden baden and turn right on 500, it is a fantastic biking road all the way to Titisee enjoy

HHmm that would be the road with long fast corners and straights with the 70km/h speed limit, and where all the copper's hang out on weekends picking off all the 100's of crotch rockets..... how about pick any other road than the B500 and you'll be onto a winner

Freiberg is not bad to stay in. It's reasonably lively and the old town is nice.

Evening ride out to Davos
Over Fluelapass to Susch
Right to Bever just past Zuoz

Right again over Lenzerlede pass to Chur
And back to Bad Bad Ragaz.
Bad Ragaz over Fluelapass again to Susch right again to Zernez
Left over Ofenpass dal Furon to St Maria

Right down the Stelvio pass To Bormio

St Gotthard via old cobble stone pass to Hospental
Left over Furkapass to Gletsh

Mejringen via Luzern and Baden to Titisee
Titisee to Seebach via the 500
Three nights at Dave and Wendy,s (www.pension-williams.de again excellent)to explore the Black forest.
Seebach to Dun sur Meuse (Ian and Carol's place www.bikersbedsfrance.co.uk excellent)
Dun sur Meuse to calais via some quaint back roads and A26 care of Ian.

Found the Getting to and from bottom of Germany into Alps Via the Basel, Zurich Luzen triangle very uninteresting and full motor ways. Need to find a better route???
