BLACK FOREST – The best motorcycle roads of Germany?
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This motorcycle journey crosses from Switzerland into Germany and explores the Black Forest, a region known for winding roads, wooded hills and traditional villages. Its central thread is a ride among well-known local routes and landmarks, from the B500 Black Forest High Road to the lakes, waterfalls and cuckoo-clock sights of the region.
About this film
The film presents the Black Forest as a destination for motorcycle travel when high Alpine passes are covered by spring snow or have closed for the season. Riding a BMW 1200 GS, Got2Go sets out from Switzerland and introduces a series of stops across the German region. The itinerary combines scenic roads with places associated with local traditions, including timber-framed village architecture, cuckoo clocks and Black Forest cake. Rather than focusing on a single road, the episode gives viewers a tour through several of the area’s named highlights and riding areas.
The journey
The route begins with the crossing from Switzerland into Germany, then turns to the Black Forest’s roads and attractions. Stops include the Geroldsauer Waterfall and the B500 Black Forest High Road, described as one of Germany’s best-known motorcycle roads. The itinerary continues to Wolfach, identified as a historic town by the water, and Gasthof Tannenmühle, presented as a place to stay or sample Black Forest cake. The ride also takes in Schluchsee and Titisee, two lakes linked to motorcycle routes, before moving on to cuckoo-clock landmarks, Triberg and Todtmoos. The description characterises the region’s roads as winding through pine-covered hills; it does not provide further detail about riding conditions.
People, places and moments
Much of the film’s appeal lies in the contrast between riding and regional sights. The Black Forest is introduced through its villages, traditional houses and cafés, as well as its food and clockmaking associations. The listed stops include a lunch stop at Lebenshof Mut im Bauch, a visit to the world’s largest cuckoo clock, and Triberg, described as the cuckoo-clock capital of the world and home to the Triberg Waterfalls. These details make the episode useful for viewers weighing a road-focused ride against a broader destination tour: the itinerary includes both celebrated motorcycle roads and cultural or natural points of interest.
