Best photo i took on my tour yet, from a few days ago. I was looking for a route through the black forest that would keep me at altitude for a while, ended up on the 'schwarzwald radweg' that i didn't know of before, i liked it a lot, skipped my original route and followed that. It's almost completely motor traffic free, mostly on gravel but everything was ridable with 38mm tires. It was surprisingly lonely on the route, hardly anybody on it, apart from some towns it passes or some more touristy places like feldberg. Involved a lot of climbing but i liked it a lot.
If you are interested in the route, there is a gpx downloadable from here.
How are the trails for biking? Do you need a mountainbike?
I think the route was planned with mountainbikes in mind but like i said, i rode it with 38 mm tires and it was all ridable, only few sections were a bit rougher rocky gravel where a bit wider tires would have been nice. It's not a route for road bikes though, don't think that would be fun.
Thats not a genesis is it? Ive taken mine well off the beaten track, it is superb off road
No it is from a german brand called 'intec', iirc they get their frames from the czech manufacturer 'fort'.
