It is a gorgeous drive in either direction. France/Germany to one side and the valleys of the Schwarzwald to the other, it is not to be missed if you live in the area. On either side of the road the scenery is spectacular. When you reach the Hochstrasse on the other side of Freudenstadt you will immediately want to relish the views. An easy day trip from Stuttgart through lots of tiny, picturesque villages and the larger city of Freudenstadt. The drive is incredible from Freudenstadt to Baden-Baden. Overall we could have spent several days exploring the immediate area and can guarantee it is a lovely must see. The fall is spectacular and in many stages and again can be done in a bit under an hour. After taking in the views from Hornisgrinde Viewpoint we continued on down another side road to Allerheiligen which has a ruined kloister and a waterfall walk. The cafe is well regarded for its blackforest cake. Then we drove to Mummelsee which is a high mountain lake with a circular walk around it and a nice cafe and souvenir stores. The one hour Gaisholl waterfall walk followed a stream with many small falls and bridges through peaceful forest. Our first attraction was a lovely walk in Sasbachwalden which was a short way off the highway and down into the valley. There were many pleasing sites including good views as you climbed out of Baden-Baden. The weather is interchangeable being in the mountains and consequently views can be masked by mountain cloud but when clear is stunning across the Rhine and the French border. The High Road or Hochstrasse runs from Baden-Baden to Freudenstadt through the northern half of the Black Forest and makes for a stunning drive.
