Schluchsee Triathlon 2026

Set course for the magnificent and wild municipality of Schluchsee, perched at over 930 meters 🇩🇪. The profile of this race is a real challenge for the thighs. Your body will have to face the bracing chill of the lake and take on a particularly hilly cycling course in the hope of conquering the terrain of the Black Forest! ⏱️

The immersion begins with an invigorating swim in the dark, pure waters of the reservoir lake. Then the asphalt takes over to propel you into a grandiose setting: your effort will carry you along winding roads, in the shade of immense firs, where the gradients will force you to constantly kick the machine back into gear. The connection with nature becomes total during the run, contested largely on the gravel trails lining the shores. You’ll feel like you’re running through a postcard, carried by the scent of pine resin and the calm of a preserved environment ⛰️.

Here, the spirit is resolutely focused on sport in its rawest form and on friendliness. Spectators, locals, and hikers gather around the transition area and along the lake to cheer you on with the warmth typical of mountain people. An atmosphere of quiet pride and communion with nature welcomes you under the finish arch, where fatigue instantly fades in the face of the majestic beauty of the panorama 🏅.

Save one last hint of indulgence to honor the legendary, comforting gastronomy of the Black Forest once you’ve racked your bike. Carry your exhausted body to a typical inn (Gasthaus) to devour a generous plate of Schwarzwälder Schinken (the famous smoked ham of the region) served with dark bread, or hearty Käsespätzle. The true consecration awaits you for dessert with a monumental Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte(the authentic Black Forest cake with cherries and kirsch). Above all, celebrate your finisher status by toasting with the unmissable Rothaus Tannenzäpfle, the cult beer brewed just a few kilometers from the lake. Shift into your mountain gears and come take on the firs! 💥
