The Black Forest High Road, fast sweepers through dark pine and open ridge.
The B500 ridge road runs the spine of the northern Black Forest from Baden-Baden, a fast, beautifully surfaced sequence of sweeping curves through dense pine forest with the Rhine plain opening up below. A favourite of German drivers and bikers, flowing rather than tight, and glorious in autumn.
