Fantastic roads, great scenery, good food.
The Black Forest has it all which is why we keep going back.
Join us for our seven day / six night trip leaving in Late May / Early June to avoid the swarms of tourists who go there for their holidays, it is always a good guide when travelling abroad to eat, drink and visit where the locals go!
Our trip will take us on some of the best biking roads in Europe, you will experience the warm welcome that Germany offers. When we reach the Black Forest you will see what everyone raves about; miles of smooth tarmac with sweeping bends and the odd tight one to maintain your concentration. If that is not enough you will be amazed by the stunning views round every corner.
Don’t forget your camera !
We are happy to escort you all the way (ideal for first-timers) or
if you would prefer to travel at your own pace we can provide you with the Sat Nav co-ordinates for the hotels. Likewise, when we arrive in Germany we can show you some of the great routes or you can
explore and find your own routes.
But be warned if you find some interesting routes we might steal them off you.
The evenings will be spent in a local restaurant / bar in the picturesque town square where we can swap stories about the day and plan for tomorrow.
Your return crossing with Eurotunnel, 3 - 4 star ensuite hotel rooms are included in the price, as is breakfast and secure parking at all hotels. However, additional security measures are recommended.
Please note the itineries quoted for our trips are to be used as a 'guide only'.

Lunch in a cafe and then onto our first overnight stop in Luxembourg. With a selection of restaurants and cafés to suit every taste.

Day Two: 205 Miles
Leaving Luxembourg, we head into Germany, soon afterwards we start to get a taste of what Germany has to offer sweeping bends and some tighter turns in glorious wooded scenery. All too soon we
will arrive at our base for the next four nights on the edge of the Black Forest and tantalisingly close to the legendary B500, but that will have to wait until tomorrow
