It has been a great trip and what else to end it in style with one more last schnitzel...?

Nürnberg

We are on our way back home and decided to stay the night in Nürnberg. We have been here before when we rode the Romantische Strasse back in 2011. But we didn't at that time see two important places: The Zeppelin Field where Hitler and the NSAP held their mass gatherings and the Nurnberg tribunal. It was impressive to see and learn once again the stories of what happened there in WW II.

The Gross Glöckner - great bike road trip

We left Velden and are on our way back home. What better way to do that over the "Gross Glöckner pass" This is surely on of the best roads of the world climbing mountains and with many, many (make that really many) hair pin curves. We just kept it dry and the sun showed itself now and then. An other fine trip :-)

Upper Carinthia and Steirmark

The last day around the lake here in Southern Austria. New roads, ever windy and steep. And some new friends in the cows along the road. We saw some castles, many many lakes and a wiener schnitzel...

A day at the lake and listening to some of the best Classical Music

We hired a speedboat to spend a day on the lake. And while we were there we could see the places were composers like Brahms, Webern, Berg, Wolf and Mahler(!) had their little places in the mountain hills on the shore to compose in quiet surroundings some of the most beautiful music ever created. No wonder because the lake is very inspiring - maybe when I am back I will try to make some Wörthersee music track myself...

The south east of Carinthia

Here is a area were stunning nature combines with castles, modern engineering wonders (like tunnels and bridges). No wonder it is so much fun to ride here. There is always to place to stop and to be awed about the view.

Three countries in One Day

It seemed that every European Motor rider had the same idea today - to tour around the area were Austria, Slovenia and Italy meet. Here high up in the alps the roads have a zillion curves go up and down and are in very good condition. The "motor brotherhood" requires us to greet every other rider and is it hard to keep our two hands on the handlebar while waving all the time. But is great to see so many people smiling and having the time of their lives.
