Seelbach - Schönberg - Gengenbach - Offenburg

(57 km / ~ 400 m elevation gain)

Offenburg

Gengenbach
City gate of Gengenbach
Leaving Lahr we take the bike path along the Schutter. At the end of Reichenbach we join the road at the roundabout and start climbing the Schönberg road. Traffic is not an issue as a wide bike lane is available. It's an easy climb that is steepest near the end. 4 km and 150 m of elevation later one reaches the top, marked by the Ludwigssäle and by Germany's oldest restaurant.

The road now descends into the Kinzig valley. Here there's a choice between multiple small roads and a marked bike path going down the valley.

Soon Gengenbach comes into sight. A visit of the former Free imperial city is worthwhile. Immediately behind the city gate the center with the half-timbered houses, the historic town hall, the market square and small lanes begins. Kinzigtal
Kinzig near Offenburg

The bicyclepath through the Kinzig valley goes into Offenburg via Ohlsbach. However, you can also go to Offenburg in parallel to the Kinzig river.

If you don't want to enter Offenburg you can turn in the direction of Zunsweier and take a hilly route to Lahr through Diersburg, Oberschopfheim and Friesenheim. This adds a bit of climbing and avoids the tedious section next to the B3. (Attention: the sign "Radfahrer Sturzgefahr" in Heiligenzell warns of a genuinely dangerous piece of road furniture.)
