Among the 58 Black Forest climbs on this website are the 10 hardest in this mountain range. The green Black Forest is a fantastic area for road cyclists who enjoy climbing. There is a dense network of well-paved, quiet roads, and the challenges are quite demanding. This is mainly due to the steepness. Nineteen of the climbs on this website have a steepest kilometer of at least 12.0%. The maximum elevation gain is just over 1100 meters (Belchen). Many rides start with meadows and farms in a valley, followed by a long section through the forest, and finally a stretch offering views.
