Mountain Roads and Vineyards


The town of Baden-Baden, with its classy spas and air of 19th-century grandeur, defines
the northern Black Forest, which is less wild and more acces sible than the south. This
tour follows the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse (Black Forest High Road), which rolls along
the western edge of the mountain range, revealing fine views over the Rhine Valley.
The road then leads to the eastern end of the Kinzig Valley, at the heart of the Black
Forest, where pockets of traditional life have survived in small logging and farming
villages. Of particular interest here is the brewery town of Alpirsbach and the half-
timbered village of Schiltach. The tour finally takes drivers to the Badische Weinstrasse,
a scenic road that meanders through an area known for its vineyards and wineries.
