For decades, the Belchenstraße held a record for the entire German low mountain range: no other road accessible to public transport led higher up. It was opened in 1904 and until its closure at the end of 2001, it was possible to reach the Belchenhaus, 1360 m above sea level, by car. Since then, cyclists in particular have enjoyed the hairpin bends that take them up to the most beautiful panoramic mountain in the Black Forest. Those who prefer a more comfortable ride can use the gondola lift, which was first used at Expo 2000 in Hanover and has been operating in the Black Forest ever since. If there is enough snow, the four kilometers of the summit road are used as a toboggan run. This is also the route of our winter tour to the third highest mountain in the Black Forest.

Matthias Schopp has been exploring the mountains on foot for 25 years—hiking, mountaineering, and skiing are his great passions. He has already climbed 30 four-thousand-meter peaks in the Alps and has undertaken expeditions to the Andes, the Caucasus, and other mountain ranges around the world. In his adopted home, the Black Forest, he spends as much time outdoors as possible.
As the author of numerous hiking guidebooks, including titles published by Rother Bergverlag, he shares his routes exclusively on Outdooractive.
Matthias Schopp (born in 1982) is a teacher at a high school in the Upper Black Forest and lives in Kirchzarten, Baden-Württemberg.
