Cycling through the Seebach valley to Hinterzarten
When you spend your holiday at Hotel Saigerhöh, your Black Forest experience begins right on your doorstep. Thanks to its idyllic location in Saig, you can easily hop on your bike and set off on one of the region's most beautiful tours without a long journey. After just a few minutes, you'll reach Lake Titisee, the official starting point of this varied circular route.
The approximately 20-kilometer route beautifully combines nature, exercise, and breathtaking views. You begin by cycling along Lake Titisee and then descend into the tranquil Seebach Valley. Well-maintained paths lead through shady forests, past small farms, and to magnificent viewpoints that invite you to take a short break.
A particular highlight is the charming village of Hinterzarten. This traditional Black Forest village invites visitors to linger with its cozy cafés, restaurants, and small shops. Those who wish can take a detour to the famous Adler ski stadium before heading back towards Titisee along leisurely paths. For the perfect end to the day, a refreshing break on the lakeside promenade is highly recommended – whether with an ice cream, a coffee with a lake view, or even a dip in the cool water on warm summer days.
The tour in numbers
Our tip : Start your bike tour in a relaxed manner after a hearty breakfast at Hotel Saigerhöh. This way you can enjoy the fresh Black Forest air right from the start and experience a tour that wonderfully combines scenic beauty, sporting activity and relaxing moments.
Relaxing along former railway lines
Anyone looking for a particularly leisurely bike tour through the Black Forest will love the Bähnle Cycle Path. The approximately 27-kilometer route leads from Titisee-Neustadt to Bonndorf and largely follows the former track of the historic railway line. This makes it pleasantly flat – a real rarity in the Black Forest and ideal for families, recreational cyclists, and anyone who wants to experience the scenery without steep climbs.
Along the way, you'll encounter expansive stretches of forest, idyllic meadows, and impressive structures from bygone eras. The Klausenbach Viaduct near Lenzkirch is particularly worth seeing—an imposing railway bridge that ranks among the highlights of the route. The gentle curves, long straight sections, and diverse views make this tour a relaxing nature experience with a touch of Black Forest railway history.
The tour in numbers
Our tip : Although you can start many beautiful bike tours directly from Saig, we recommend taking a car or public transport to the official starting point in Titisee-Neustadt or, alternatively, Bonndorf for the Bähnle Cycle Path. Starting the tour directly from the hotel would almost double the total distance. This way, you can fully enjoy the Bähnle Cycle Path itself and then comfortably return to your starting point without having to cover many unnecessary extra kilometers.
Around Lake Schluchsee
If you're looking for a bike tour that perfectly combines enjoying nature, exercise, and relaxing breaks, the Schluchsee tour is just the thing for families. This easy 18-kilometer loop takes you around the largest lake in the Black Forest, mostly on well-maintained paths with fine gravel and asphalt. Thanks to the gentle gradients, the route is ideal for families, leisurely cyclists, and anyone who wants to discover the Upper Black Forest at a relaxed pace.
Time and again, breathtaking views of the shimmering water unfold as you cycle along the shore through shady stretches of forest and past small coves. On warm summer days, it's worth packing your swimsuit; Lake Schluchsee is one of the cleanest lakes in Germany and invites you to take a refreshing break along the way. Those who prefer to enjoy regional cuisine should plan a stop at the Unterkrummenhof, which is located directly on the route and is one of the most popular places to eat around the lake.
The tour in numbers
Our tip : You can reach Lake Schluchsee from the hotel in just a few minutes by car. This allows you to start your actual tour in a relaxed manner and combine the excursion with a beautiful drive through the Black Forest. If the weather is nice, pack your swimsuit!
After the tour, the return to Saigerhöh is just as leisurely, perhaps with a coffee or a piece of Black Forest cherry cake on our terrace as the perfect end to an eventful day.
