That looks like a great ride! I didn't do anything as long, but was carrying camping gear, panniers, heavy bike, etc. Did a week tour with my wife (rules are I carry the luggage and < 100km per day!) starting in Stuttgart then over to Freiberg, then back across to the Titisee, over the Feldberg and down to Basel.
It was all very pretty. I liked the northern half as was almost deserted. Southern half more touristy. Great cycling country - would love to go back and do more of it, preferably on a faster bike.
They put their tents much closer than we do! #6metrerule

I'm hatching plans to do a ride from Dusseldorf down to Basel with wife and son either next summer or the year after...

and I was totally won over by Basel, mostly after seeing people swimming to work in the river. Obviously its Switzerland so inordinately expensive but yeah, incredible part of the world.

I spent a week riding round Basel - the black forest ride was my favourite. Such good riding there. I rode back along the river after riding over towards the Grand Balon - which I didn't end up climbing as my knee was giving my troubles. A whole lot of not much between Basel and the foot of the climb...
I want to go back and ride more of the black forest - this ride was great https://www.strava.com/activities/1031860908
