Vogezen
After breakfast, the group left for Lutzelbourg for the 1st stop for coffee. After about 1H45M drive we arrive at Bierstub d'Eselbahn, where they also serve delicious coffee.
After the coffee to the high (s) point of this tour, namely: Le Rocher De Dabo * (Drasburg), where you have a beautiful view of the surroundings on top of the rock. After enjoying the view and taking some pictures, it is time to continue to the lunch location.
* This rock is located in the southeast of the department of Moselle, in the country Sarrebourg, about 2 km before the departmental border. It rises to 664 m - at the top of Schlossberg - and is 30 m high, 80 m long and 26 m wide. (Source: Wikipedia).
We have lunch 14 km away at Restaurant des Vosges, where we take a delicious salad. The restaurant is located on a nice road for motorcyclists, witness the number of motorcyclists passing during lunch.
After lunch we set off for the north to wind down through the Vosges to spend another pleasant evening at the hotel. On the way we stop for a glass of soda at Au Soleil in Wimmenau, before we arrive at the hotel in Saarland again.
Because I have driven this route myself, this route gets 5 stars.

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!
