Kandel Ascent and Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The approach from the direction of Glottertal / St.Peter on the Kandel is the less beautiful variant, the approach from Waldkirch is clearly recommended. This has an almost alpine flair …

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.

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 • 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 …

June 29, 2022,Rennradtour Kandel Rennrad(Erstbefahrung)

The road bike tour begins in Waldkirch, a charming little town in the Black Forest. From there, it goes straight into the mountains, with the Kandel as the destination. The climb is challenging, as it is a steady uphill climb from Waldkirch to the summit. The route is around 12 kilometers long and overcomes almost 940 meters in altitude. The …

Since I never get home before 7pm during the week and the weather looks bad for the weekend, I faced my love/hate relationship... I have to ride a few more times so that we become one 😉

The last quarter had a strong headwind... I had to brake more on the way down Glottertal because a van was driving in …

The construction site is passable - and the road is therefore free of any motorized individual traffic 🤩

Immediately after the cardiovascular clinic, I met a “colleague” from Lake Constance and was tortured with him. Above was a group from Holland: racing cyclists just get along ☝️
PS: the text on the jersey is incorrect..... I'm quite slow uphill and I don't start grazing at the top 😂🙈

Today I thought about turning back a few times (right after Altenbach for the first time). Then I remembered what a football friend told me last night at the campsite in Kirchzarten: ".... you never gave up, even when we were hopelessly behind.....".

In principle, more of a lark...
But the wings are weak in the morning.

Nevertheless, I used the late working day to climb the killer beforehand.

Pure reward. The smell of freshly mown grass, the blossoms of the linden tree...great light, cool, no one on the way to the canopy...
Humility.

No car, no motorbike..

January 1, 2023,Rennradtour ala Linzer...

Today the baked Linzer cake should finally go to my racing bike friend in the Glottertal...
I couldn't resist panning over the candelabra. Beastly wind in the last third and cool up there, half frozen in the valley, I could warm myself with a warm coffee with milk, the energy came back and the afternoon sun sent me home in …
