This bank holiday weekend I added an extra day and did a trip to Vianden, Luxembourg with my wife as pillion and my sister and Brother in law on their bikes. Cracking weekend, helped by the very good warm weather. Vianden is a very nice small town with numerous hotels restaurants. Took the shuttle to Calais then onto Vianden, arrived mid afternoon, checked into hotel and then drank a refreshing beer or three. Saturday went for a walk around the town, took the cable car up to a cafe and the castle. Spent the afternoon riding round some of Luxembourg's Twisties. Sunday we rode to Cochem in the Model valley, a medieval German town, then back to Vianden through yet more Twisties. Monday it was back to Calais and home. Vianden, very popular with bikes, a sort of Cinching field on steroids! |

Had a cracking time, try and get over there if you can. 4 days is a good break, 2 for travelling there and back and 2 for blatting around. |

A lovely area. I enjoyed 2 nights in Cochem in 2016 and 2 nights in nearby Klotten in 2017. Each time I rode a super loop around the area. Nürburgring circuit is not far to the north. I think I’ll save up to ride the Ring Taxi one day.
Carpe Diem!

Northern Luxembourg is one of my favorite weekend trips, only a 3 hours ride from home. Great roads, very well maintained, beautiful scenery and nice people and food, and very cheap fuel compared to home! My favorite sleepover is in Esch-sur-Sure, also a very old town with a castle. And just across the border in Germany, the southern Eifel and Mosel regions are also great for a day trip... |
