Nice views. Is it Schwarzwald? I'd like to go to Germany next year for a week of cycling with lots of climbs, where should I go?

No, just the area around Bad Kreuznach, I took the photo in a little town called Burgsponheim.
Landscape's lots of vines, some climbs up to 600m ish and easy access to the Rhine and Nahe river going via Bingen.
I've been going back and forth between here where my Dad's in hospital ATM and Odenwald area, about 130k away, where my Mum is based. Over there it's not vines but much more forest, apple trees and lots more climbing, although the max elevation is similar.
Going to and fro will bring you through the flat Rhine valley around Darmstadt and makes for a great 130k ride with about 1000m very one way.
Can recommend both. So far I've mostly been off the main roads, there's a great network of singed quiet roads, dedicated bike lanes, forest roads and gravel paths. Ideal for a gravel bike.
