Mieming & Timmelsjoch – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 8)
Mieming was a nice landing spot. BioHotel Schweitzer seemed appealing from the outside. First encounter with hotel staff was however, a bit confusing. Bad timing, good offer I’d booked the room shortly after arrival in Mieming. Done late booking earlier during the journey south, without any problems. So I did it again, booking.com indicated vacancies,…read more>>
Neresheim & south – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 7)
Neresheim I had never heard about, before June 30th 2018. After the encounter I’ll never forget that name. Might make stop there again, one day in the future.

Eltz Castle – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 5)
Eltz Castle, Mosel river and valley were the next goals, so remained on a southwestern course. The castle is just 10-15 minutes away from the river Mosel. It was (sort of) planned.

West Germany & Zonk – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 3)
West Germany is easy to travel in, or through. With a plethora of road alternatives, friendly and forthcoming people, nice small cities, it’s quite enjoyable. Accommodation normally isn’t any problem. What might be tough is to get motorcycle service done during summer. Especially if you’ve not booked, good time in advance. It depends on where…read more>>
Denmark & Germany – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 2)
Woke up not too early in Denmark, ready for day 2 of the adventure. Looking out through the windows the weather checked out pretty good. No sight of dark clouds or rain.
