#1 | German Alpenstrasse & Austrian Romantic road datum

I have not finished 2023's holidays yet, with a trip to Spain at the end of Sept 2023. Yet, currently staying with a friend and we are discussing trips for spring 2024 and the Deutsche Alpenstrasse is on the radar.

Useful site here: https://www.deutsche-alpenstrasse.de/en/home and you download satnav routes in GPM or KML on the Services tab.

Some more info here including links to routes on MRA https://www.ukgser.com/community/threads...strasse.348534/

Some more info here with hotel links https://www.s1000xr.uk/index.php/topic,7474.0.html

The Alpenstrasse ends near the Austrian border so easy to extend the trip by heading east of Salzburg onto the Austrian Romantic road

Those look spectacular, any notion of the temperatures you're looking for in Sept?
Bar any rainstorms that part of the year should be fairly pleasant 15-25C range if memory serves me (depending on time of day, altitude, etc.)

Saves one from having to carry-with and bundle up excessively or end up on on alpine pass in jeans and a summer jacket at sudden 10C, not that I would know anything about that

Year-round riding enthusiast i.e. seasonal motorcycle popsicle.

In Spain? I've been to Pyrenees, Picos d'Europe, Asturias & Northern Portugal in late September/early October 2018, 2019 & 2022. In 2018, it was scorchio in high 20s & 30s C and 43C in Porto. 2019 was milder and last year, it was high of 27C in Vielha in the Pyrenees, and about 5C with a hail storm at 2000m on the Pueurto San Gloria in the Picos. Very wet second half of the trip, but rarely below 10C

For Germany, the trip is in May 2024 and from past experience of being in the Black Forest last year, I would hope it will be pleasantly in the mid teens C. My Viking blooded travelling companion from Teeside doesn't cope too well in >25C so we have to go early in the season. He would not entertain coming as far south as the Adriatic!
