Dense forest, sunny mountain tops, spectacular views, serene lakes, romantic valleys: that's the Black Forest. This region of SouthWest Germany has long been one of Europe´s most popular destinations for British holidaymakers. But the unspoiled scenery provides much more than just a backdrop for holiday selfies. The Great Outdoors is the main event. With some 5,000 miles of marked trails, cyclists, mountain bikers, e-bikers, scooters and Scroosers (the hottest innovation) have perfect conditions for fun-filled days. Away from busy roads, these family-friendly cycle paths crisscross the Black Forest. What's more they hook in to convenient and free public transport.
No noisy engine, no exhaust fumes: the Scrooser is the two-wheeled, battery-powered electric scooter that is taking Europe by storm. With its fat tyres and comfy seat, the Scrooser is easy to steer and control, allowing you to cruise around town using little muscle power or energy. At first glance, this lifestyle vehicle looks a bit like Batman's motorbike, but it works like a regular scooter. Push off with your foot and as soon as you get up to 2mph, the electric motor kicks in. Top speed is 15mph, perfect for exploring Karlsruhe, the first city in the world to introduce city tours by Scrooser.
World-famous as a gastronomic destination, the village of Baiersbronn is surrounded by glorious woods and valleys, meadows, streams and national park. And one of the best ways to explore this unspoiled landscape is on two wheels. Choose between bikes, e-bikes or mountain bikes. Part of the 250-mile local network of marked trails is a new mountain bike system. Suggested circular tours range from easy family outings (guided or self-guided) to challenging tests for the most ambitious mountain bikers. Along the way are beautiful views, as well as natural delights, such as still lakes and romantic waterfalls.
