    The approximately 31-kilometer gourmet route on the heights of the northern Black Forest. With about 560 meters of elevation and mainly good gravel paths, it is ideal for all who want to combine sporting activity with impressive views. Shortly after starting in Dobel, you immerse yourself in a varied landscape of dense forests, wide plateaus, and idyllic forest paths. Along the way, impressive panoramas repeatedly open up – such as at the Schweizerkopf Hut with views over the Murg valley, Palatinate Mountains, and as far as the Vosges.

    A special highlight awaits at Dobler View: the hidden swing with panoramic views is the perfect spot for a break and a souvenir photo. Numerous huts and fountains along the route invite you to catch your breath before continuing to the legendary Green Hut. Here, the famous blueberry pancakes are simply a must for many bikers.

    Author’s recommendation

    A culinary stop is also worth it at the Eyach Mill. Regional products in organic and Demeter quality promise delicious enjoyment.

    Roadbook

    The circular mountain bike tour starts in Dobel at the spa house parking lot. With the bike, you ride through the Sonnentor, past the observation tower (former water tower) towards the sports field. From there, the tour continues straight along the Großlohweg to the Weithäusle Square. At the large fork in the path, you continue on the gravel road to the Schweizerkopf Hut. There you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Palatinate Mountains, Murg valley, and also the Odenwald. After a short break, the tour continues along the gravel Hahnenfalzweg keeping left up to the Hahnenfalz Hut. At the fountain of the Hahnenfalz Hut, you can refill your water bottle fresh. Continue straight ahead to the sharp curve (Ächtlesweg) and then keep left to the Langmartskopf Hut (Herrenalbweg) and finally to Kreuzlehütte. At Kreuzlehütte, follow the signposts "Green Hut" and take the "Upper Horn Path" to "Dobler View." Dobler View is hidden on the left side. You leave your bikes by the roadside and walk the short distance to the swing called "Dobler View." After enjoying the view, the tour continues over Weißenstein Hut to the Green Hut. The Green Hut invites you to stop for refreshments. After strengthening yourself, the return trip begins from the Green Hut on the "new Green Hut path" to the Lehen Hut (shelter). The path to the Eyach Mill leads downhill on the "Old Line Path" keeping left onto Schaiblesweg. Upon arriving at the Eyach Mill, it’s almost three kilometers uphill back to Dobel (road route).
