GRAN FONDO · SATURDAY
Gran Fondo · 170 km · 2,000 m
Medio Fondo · 100 km · 1,200 m
For many, perhaps the most beautiful road cycling route in Germany.
Endless quiet roads through vineyards and wine villages, rolling hills and a landscape that seems to change with every turn.
Sometimes flowing. Sometimes demanding. Never boring.
Kilometres of changing rhythm, spectacular views and that unique sense of ease for which the Baden Wine Route is so highly regarded among road cyclists.
Beautifully demanding.

ON THE GRAND STAGE
500 women. A start you will never forget.
Escorted by the police, the peloton rolls through the centre of Freiburg before heading out towards the vineyards of the Baden Wine Route.
Hours later, the finish line awaits on Münsterplatz, set against the backdrop of one of Germany’s most beautiful historic city centres.
The finisher party at Freiburg’s iconic Historisches Kaufhaus provides a fitting finale to a truly memorable day on the bike.
