Austria

Two passes, two countries (2024-7)

Posted on May 4, 2025May 5, 2025 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Two passes and two countries, just like in 2021. From Austria and Timmelsjoch into Italy, then Jaufenpass and onwards east to Austria. One could argue it would be three passes. Along Timmelsjoch high alpine road there are actually two, one on the Austrian, another on the Italian side. It was first time for my friend…read more>>

Stelvio pass, and back to Switzerland (2024-6)

Posted on April 28, 2025April 28, 2025 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Stelvio Pass was next. First time for my companion. I had not been there in many years, but knew what to expect. We crossed over from Switzerland and into Italy on road SS38 in the Lombardy region. Then a descent towards Val Müstair. It’s a very pleasant ride, with few signs of what awaits you….read more>>

The return back north, 2021 Adventure (11)

Posted on March 20, 2023March 20, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

The return back north was going to be a long one. It always is, for Norwegians who ride all the way down to central Europe. And up again. In that respect we who live up north are at a clear disadvantage. If our goal is to explore Europe, then we have to cover 2-2500 of…read more>>

Timmelsjoch high alpine road, 2021 (10)

Posted on March 5, 2023March 20, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road is for many a goal, and more than once. Know people who consider riding it obligatory, when in Austria. Been a few years since I was here last time. Decided I could not leave Austria without having ridden the road and pass again. I’d also made an appointment to meet up…read more>>

Grossglockner High Alpine Road – 2021 (9)

Posted on February 19, 2023May 26, 2025 by Knut Meyn 2 Comments

It’s almost inconceivable to travel into, or around in, the Austrian Alps without riding Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Whether from one side to the other, or both directions.  At least once. if you’re lucky with the weather I think you will want to come back. If not so lucky, well all the more a reason…read more>>

Czech, mate – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 13)

Posted on December 29, 2018October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Czech Republic, for the second time. That was on the day’s menu. Failed attempts the day before weren’t going to defer me from the “plans”. Yes, for once I did in fact have a plan, well, parts of one at least. A friend had mentioned the medieval town of Loket, that it was well worth…read more>>

Border crossing – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 12)

Posted on December 1, 2018October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

A border was to be crossed, “plan” was to ride into Czech Republic and continue north.  Didn’t go as “planned”, possibly because the “plan” was non-existent. Danube river Left the hotel and Sankt Ulrich bei Steyr not too early in the morning. Past Steyr I took a eastern course, and got back on small-ways, with…read more>>

Passes are (of course) must do’s when in Central Europe. You cannot leave without at least riding a few. So mountain passes was on the menu for July 3rd. Passes, from Austria to Slovenia Woke up to partial blue sky, with low hanging clouds up along the mountain sides. No rain in the forecast until…read more>>

July 2nd I knew absolutely nothing about Kötschach Mauthern or Beer Hotel Loncium. How  I got there, well read on and you’ll find out! Another beautiful morning in…read more>>
