The scenic route leads through mystical forests, past orchards and dreamy half-timbered houses. The efforts are rewarded with wonderful views.
On this route, hills must be climbed and views enjoyed. The round leads over the hill plateau between the rivers Würm and Nagold through the Pforzheim communities of Huchenfeld and Hohenwart, into the valley to Unterreichenbach, via Engelsbrand and Büchenbronn back to Pforzheim. Here, not only beautiful orchards and enchanting Black Forest await the cyclists but also the observation towers in Hohenwart and Büchenbronn, as well as wide views into the Nagold valley. Additionally, the highest point in Pforzheim is cycled to.
Fresh country air, Black Forest flair, and plenty of nature enjoyment are guaranteed.
Author’s recommendation

Safety information
After Schellbronn, the route goes downhill for a very short distance on a country road. The forest road, on which the route continues, branches off from the country road just before a curve. Extreme caution is required when turning off here!
Otherwise, as always: a helmet and a well-maintained bike are good insurance. Please meet all others with caution and respect.
This is a suggested route to be explored at your own risk.
