Wacht Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The pass crossing from the Präg Valley to the Bernau Valley is relatively gentle. From Präg, the country road winds its way up to the deeply cut pass at just under 1,000 meters with a moderate gradient, gaining 330 meters in altitude. From Bernau, however, the climb is barely noticeable – the difference in altitude is negligible. The route is also very popular with motorcyclists.

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Alternative route from Präg to Bernau. The shorter route over the Wachtpass is also very scenic, but extremely popular on a beautiful summer's day with the motorcycle faction. In addition, you collect on the route over Todtmoos a few meters more.

Bernauer Straße Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Recommended climb with briefly double-digit %%.

Road condition (10/2023) mostly good to very good, and should also be ok downhill.

Hochkopf Summit

Highlight • Summit

As a descent, every route is beautiful, although of course you can best let it run in the direction of Todtmoos or Präg, because the streets are wide and well developed. Which, however, is also very much appreciated by the moped group, who like to appear here in a swarm. Downhill you can usually come to terms with your colleagues quite well, uphill it can be a bit more annoying. Therefore it is best to choose the aforementioned Fuchswaldstraße to the Tiergrüble-Sattel from Schönau for the ascent. There is usually quiet here and the occasional moped drivers who get lost here have to be extremely sensitive with the throttle hand on the very narrow and in places moss-covered roadway, which benefits the peace and quiet in the forest. Should you choose the Fuchswaldstraße for the descent by bike, please also think of the sometimes slippery road surface - with a racing bike you fly just as hard!

From Präg to Hochkopf

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Especially the lower part of the route is very scenic, also here is the road narrow and leads through the individual spots of Präg, past typical Black Forest farms. There is ample opportunity to admire the Präger Gletscherkessel, which is indeed quite alpine. Even though the Black Forest glaciers have already melted off at the end of the last ice age, their past activity can still be understood very well on the basis of many large boulders and scree slopes, which are quite characteristic of former glacial moraines. The road then leads largely through forest and rises moderately steep with a maximum of 8-9% to the high head, where you reach the transition to the Wehratal.
