#1 | Finally 'escaped' across the Swiss-German border datum

Great ride to have lunch at Rothaus Brauerei. Social distancing is easy when you're on your own. Headed then to Kirchzarten and then home via Todtnau. Pleased to have my free movement in Schengen area back again. Even more pleased to be able to take the 1250 into the Black Forest at last.

I rode some of those roads last summer as a day trip from our base in Colmar. We were on a weekday so the wonderful road over Schauinsland was open. I see you missed that bit!

I should have been settling for a beer in the main square in Obernai, Alsace this evening but our travel restrictions are still in place.

Lucky you.
I can't get to Switzerland. Germany is blocking me.

I hear your pain but luckily for now don�t feel it🙄. I�ve saved Schauinsland to Google Maps for my next cross border excursion.

I think I did the first your 3 sections South to North when I took a wrong turn heading for Baden-Baden a few years ago.

P.S. I regularly stop at the giftshop and cafe at the southern end of the Schluchsee for a Gulaschzuppe on my travels. I wonder if the old couple running it are still open for business?
