Pforzheim

Pforzheim's running and cycling centre on the Neckar River puts distance runners on the valley floor while cyclists climb immediately into the Black Forest hills to the south and east. The Rund um die Goldstadt 120km cycling event showcases the region's rolling terrain and forest roads around the city. Serious hill work lies 20-30km south toward the Swabian uplands, where gradients exceed 8-10 percent regularly.
