RouteXpert Review
Day 7 we drive from Melay to Barweiler in the Eifel, the total ride is 402 km, we drive through the Vosges, Luxembourg and the Eifel. A beautiful ride with many beautiful roads, varied landscapes and nice villages and towns along the way to stop for a short or long break.
After a very well cared for breakfast at B&B La Maison de Notaire, we say goodbye to Ron and Astrid and head for Luxembourg.
The first stop is planned at RP3 where you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, sandwich or lunch at a bakery.
The second stop is planned in Luxembourg for refueling, the gasoline is a lot cheaper here than in Germany and France.
We drive further through beautiful Luxembourg, where we also take a piece of Mullerthal (RP14). The rest we drive the next day (route 8), towards the Eifel.
The end point is Bed & Breakfast Red House on the Hill, where we are warmly welcomed by the Dutch operators and our group of friends who join us for the rest of the trip.
Red House on the Hill is aimed at motorcyclists, the bar and restaurant are tastefully decorated. The guests are well taken care of and in the evening it is nice to relax with a good meal, nice glass of beer, wine or something else with great music (blues rock). The view from the porch and terrace is spectacularly beautiful.
This route deserves 5 stars, because of the beautiful rolling environment through which the mostly well-paved roads wind through, you occasionally pass a stream or river and many nice villages along the way.

Saarland
About this region
The Saarland (, US also , German: [ˈzaːɐ̯lant] (listen); French: Sarre [saʁ]) is a state of Germany in the west of the country. With an area of 2,570 km2 (990 sq mi) and population of 995,600 in 2015, it is the smallest German state in area apart from the city-states of Berlin, Bremen, and also Hamburg, and the smallest in population apart from Bremen. Saarbrücken is the state capital and largest city; other cities include Neunkirchen and Saarlouis. Saarland is mainly surrounded by the department of Moselle (Grand Est) in France to the west and south and the neighboring state of Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany to the north and east; it also shares a small border about 8 kilometres (5 miles) long with the canton of Remich in Luxembourg to the northwest.
Saarland was established in 1920 after World War I as the Territory of the Saar Basin, occupied and governed by France under a League of Nations mandate. The heavily industrialized region was economically valuable, due to the wealth of its coal deposits and location on the border between France and Germany. Saarland was returned to Nazi Germany in the 1935 Saar status referendum. Following World War II, the French military administration in Allied-occupied Germany organized the territory as the Saar Protectorate on 16 February 1946. After the 1955 Saar Statute referendum, it joined the Federal Republic of Germany as a state on 1 January 1957. Saarland used its own currency, the Saar franc, and postage stamps issued specially for the territory until 1959.

Alps and Dolomite Mountains 2020 out of Belgium
This route collection takes you through the Austrian and Italian Alps to the massifs of the Dolomites and back.
Your counter will add up to 3122.84 kilometers and you will pass 38, among which some top ones (Stelvio, Gavia, Gardena, Pordio, Grossglockner,…) can cross off your bucket list.
There are playful ones such as the Oberjoch that only increase the appetite, but also some pamper-consuming such as the Zillertaler Höhenstrasse. But all passes, big or small, are breathtaking and wonderful, especially those of the Dolomites.
The different routes are balanced against each other. Of course the entry and exit routes require a little more stamina due to distance and duration, but even they offer you full driving pleasure once you leave the highway. There is something foreseen on every route!
From the second and up to and including the eighth day you drive 'passes', some days more than others. Top days are days five and six when you ride 10 and 9 passes respectively, which are also not of the least, but certainly of the most beautiful...
But don't worry, days 1 and 9 are also worthwhile because of the passage through the beautiful Palatinate and Black Forest. One of the most acclaimed European motorcycle roads is also on the program in this collection; the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse or the famous '500'. But the alternative to this beautiful road is also being driven; less crowded, but no less beautiful for that.
You don't have to be a superman or woman to bring this collection to a successful conclusion. Due to the balancing, the routes are measured against each other and sufficient rest is provided between the heavier and lighter rides. In addition, shortenings are offered in various routes so that you can make the choice to fully enjoy the motorcycle fun, opt for the luxury provided in the selected hotels or visit some of the highlights marked on the routes.
For example, a cable car ride is possible, as well as a flight with the longest zipline in Europe (recommended!).
The selected hotels not only pamper your engine (garage) and digestive system, but also your body through the wellness facilities on offer.
Excellent roads, from day 1, wonderfully rolling asphalt and fantastic views in wonderful and rough nature, in combination with great hotels and possible experiences. That's what this collection offers you.
It's up to you to take it and let us know how you found it. At least if you find your speech again, because you will be speechless at times, especially in the mighty Dolomites…
Enjoy!
