Baiersbronn T10 - Murgtal route

The Murgtal route is the king route in Baiersbronn for lovers of flowing trails. It is just as trail-like here, but significantly less rough than on the T8.

The start is at the Klosterreichenbach Swimming Pool parking lot. Right at the beginning, there is the option to shorten the route a bit. Especially interesting if you have already taken or still want to take the detour into the Reichenbachtal with its long trail descent as part of T2 or T6.

From Dornstetter Weg, it goes uphill on a trail which immediately gets the circulation going. Then it continues on gravel roads past the Genießerplatz. From the Stoffelshütte, a trail leads very steeply uphill. If you prefer it more leisurely, take the detour via Sonnenuhrsträßle. From Stoffelswald, we then glide straight down a very flowing trail into the Reichenbachtal. A few gravel roads lead us to Musbacher Straße. Then it gets challenging again on a trail running uphill and downhill along the hillside. And so it continues straight on to Heselbach. Trails, nature, and gravel roads alternate, as do climbs and descents.

From Heselbach, there is a longer climb up to Zwerenberg. The following hairpin descent is worth the climbing effort (approx. 200m elevation gain). Of course, you can also skip this detour by turning left immediately at Wannengründle.

Gravel roads bring us back up to the ridge near B294. At Hinterbuch, the fun part begins again up to L350. From here, it goes down on an asphalt section to Schönegründ. Continuing north along Alte Landstraße. The uphill trail section is a challenge, afterwards the legs can relax again with a steady rhythm on the gravel ascent.

Next is the super flowing Huzenbach trail. Through Huzenbach, with supply options at the local shop, we cycle to the western side of the valley. Just below Huzenbacher See, we enter the Black Forest National Park. On the lake’s circuit, it is worth opening your eyes and ears wide to take in this natural paradise.

Further uphill the route takes us to Kleemisse. Here, be sure to go a few meters further straight ahead to the Huzenbacher Seeblick, it’s worth it! Via a natural path, we reach Kleemisswegle and continue cycling from here, constantly uphill and downhill along the hillside.

At the Johanna-Katz-Hütte (not managed) there is an opportunity to rest with a great view of the Lower Murgtal. It continues to Hahnenstein and then into the Weiherhüttentrail, another treat for hairpin lovers.

On the following gravel section, we enjoy the view again and then pedal up over Zinkenteich to the Ailbachquelle. Those who want to arrive quickly can take the shortcut.

Everyone else circles Bruckenberg, lies down on one of the sky loungers at Priorstein, and relaxes. The elevation is done; the rest of the route is fun and “rolls”. A longer trail descent with many hairpins again takes us down into Tonbachtal. Along the hillside, we pedal easily towards the finish in Klosterreichenbach.

Shortcut: Signed shortcut options are available right at the beginning of the route in Klosterreichenbach and right at the end of the route at Ailbachquelle.
