Heading off on Saturday night with a mate from Harwich to the Hook, Sundays plan is to head near Liege to watch some of the Liege-Bastogne-Liege bike race & then down to Vianden in Lux to overnight. |

Zitat von baxb im Beitrag #1 I've been to Alsace many times, Obernai last year. We stayed near Appenweier two years ago in Buhlertal. Good area, lots of vineyards. One of my favourite roads goes from Freiburg to Todtnau via Schauinsland. You can only ride it on weekdays (like a few roads in the Black Forest) but you sensibly arrive Monday. A loop https://maps.app.goo.gl/naTy9AwPrXx8dDkK8 In the Nord Vosges, there are some Maginot Line places to visit such as https://maps.app.goo.gl/4sHUXFQS5HWKJpN87 and https://maps.app.goo.gl/wAeni6URZEqeR8LT9 There are a number of ferries over the Rhine that add a bit of fun. Free to use, unlike the ones further north. Popular with 16 year old moped riders who pop over to Germany after school in France to buy beer as the age of consent is lower in Germany! As for routes to Stuttgart, this maybe? https://maps.app.goo.gl/KeZy7P1PsyjmjVfR8

Thanks for the tip, we had a fabulous first hour from Vianden towards Bitberg & then found some decent roads south of Trier, but after a coffee stop at Nunkierchen it was pretty tedious going for the most part. Even the route across the northern Vosges was beset with lots of traffic & many Kms of solid white lines making overtaking hard work. The last hour into Appenweier was pretty pleasant. |

Zitat von baxb im Beitrag #5 eeeh... if we're talking B-roads without traffic, blind corners coming up or populated areas/junctions they'll tend to skew into the white suggestion lines - as long as you're not a dick about it
