The Alps, a mountain range in Europe that stretches from the French Mediterranean coast in the southwest to the Pannonian plain in the east, almost always guarantee beautiful routes. It can hardly be boring there. The many passes, vistas and variations in the landscape make the Alps a true motorcycle paradise. Driving around in the Alps is really quite an experience. You haven't gone through one bend yet or the next one is already on its way. Climbing from the valley, you can see the landscape change from wooded slopes with splashing waterfalls to alpine meadows where no trees can be found and asphalt roads that cut through the eternal snow. Arriving at the top of the mountain, enjoy phenomenal views over the surrounding snow-capped peaks, as if you were on the roof of the world.

The 7 routes of this collection lead you from Austria to the Netherlands via Italy, Switzerland, Germany and a few kilometers in France. Several passes are visited, including the Tonale, the Gavia, the Stelvio, the St Gotthard, the Grimsel and so on. Each and every one of them fits that are a joy to drive.
You would think that after the Alps the fun is over, but nothing could be further from the truth. From the Alps you drive through Switzerland into the Black Forest. You can have fun for a week in that area alone. From the Black Forest you drive to the Eifel, also a famous area among motorcyclists. Think, for example, of the crowded Nürburgring.
The last part of the route goes over the highway, because then you have arrived in an uninteresting area: the Ruhr area. Busy, gray and gray. Reason to do this via the highway, then you can quickly get through it. Driving indoors is not an issue here as far as I'm concerned. You drive from one town to another, often equipped with many traffic lights and associated heavy traffic.

A few sights are discussed in the review for each route. These often tell something about the history of the area in which you drive. Fun facts, quite educational. Often there are also places indicated where you can find some entertainment, for example a suspension bridge at a great height. You are completely free to visit these sights, you can of course also determine your own points of interest.
But the main thing you probably traveled to this area for is simply driving. And as mentioned above, you are in a true motorcycle paradise where the steering is fantastic!

Each route ends at a hotel. It is of course not an obligation to use these hotels, you can always find another place to stay in the area, that is entirely up to you. My experience, however, is that they are all simple but good hotels for a very reasonable price. They are known and can be booked through booking.com.
