Eschbachtal (L217)

Highlight (Segment) • Religious Site

Currently (10 \ 2018), the surface was renewed from St. Peter and it now runs until just before Eschbach velvety smooth. Especially in the downhill a pleasure!

In the Dreisamtal there are a number of small roads and paths on which you can get in the direction of St. Peter, St. Märgen, Schauinsland/Notschrei or the Zastlertal. It's also great for rolling up after starting in Freiburg.

Schwabentor (Swabian Gate), Freiburg im Breisgau

Highlight • Historical Site

The Schwabentor was built in the middle of the 13th century as a city gate within the fortification to protect the citizens.

Today it houses the Zinnfigurenklause, a museum in which historical events are recreated with pewter figures.

Glotter Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Probably the most famous valley in the area but not necessarily the most beautiful. In the lower part it is still quite flat towards St. Peter and then becomes a real uphill climb. Due to the large number of tourists, the traffic is usually quite heavy.

Vineyards above Glottertal

Highlight • Natural

The vineyards in the Glottertal, which lie above the village, are somewhat unusual for the Black Forest, but are therefore all the more interesting.

Glotter Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

A descent through Glottertal is always worthwhile. The asphalt is good and you can just let it run and enjoy.

Bad route in Freiburg, I think I have corrected it a little. I think the route can be improved.

At Heuweiler there were a few heavy raindrops from the dark grey clouds above me, in St. Peter there was a lot of thunder and in the Dreisamtal the roads were wet. Otherwise I was fortunately not affected. It must have been pretty crazy in Freiburg.

We actually wanted to go up to the Plattenhof because we hadn't done it in ages. Unfortunately, Thommy's back knee didn't cooperate. So we took a shortcut via St. Peter. We were lucky because the announced rain band came an outrageous 1.5 hours early.
