Just returned from my annual visit to see my mate in Germany.
Toured about in 30 degree heat. Bike ran faultlessly and had a great time.
Petrol prices creeping up, 1.40 to 1.70 per litre.
All being well will be back next year.

I enjoyed Germany - compared to our night in Belgium, Germany was very good value. Fuel is expensive, especially on the autobahn but at least there are no tolls. Food & accommodation were very cheap compared to France, Belgium & UK.

Me too.

Visited the BM Garmisch weekend. With many country roads, hills and bends along the way.

BM museum and BM World in Munich were great.

Found myself in Austria, Italy and Switzerland as I meandered my way home.

Some super roads. But a few too many towns and villages as my GPS kept me off motorways much of the time.

Must head for better routes next time, e.g. Harz

If heading for the Harz, stay in Goslar. It's a lovely town. I spent a nice day off the bike wandering around. The area between Harz & the Rhine is nice. Lots of little spa towns either side of Siegen and lovely roads.

There are many beautiful, curvy roads and beautiful areas. For example, near me are the Thuringian Forest (Oberhof, Rennsteig), Röhn (Wasserkuppe), Knüll Mountains (Edersee dam), Vogelsberg (Legendary Schottenring).

If someone needs a few route suggestions, I am happy to help.

I�ve stayed in Goslar and Bad Grund. Hope to visit again. Some lovely roads around there. Just need to pray for good weather.

Carpe Diem!
