Italiens schönste Straßen BOI2304
Italiens schönste Straßen... wir kommen euch besuchen! Und wo sonst ließe sich diese Tour besser starten, als in der ewigen Stadt Rom? ... Nun gut, hier findet man vor allem Italiens vollste Straßen, aber das ist uns heute egal, denn wir besichtigen die Stadt zu Fuß, mit unserem waschechten italienischen Tourguide Domenico! Er zeigt uns die schönsten Orte dieser faszinierenden Stadt, erzählt uns von der Architektur, der Geschichte, den Mythen. Gemeinsam staunen, lachen und schlemmen wir. Welch großartiger Beginn einer ganz besonderen Woche! Als wir nachmittags zurück ins Hotel kommen, haben Julia und Julian bereits alle Motorräder vorbereitet und wir treffen uns zum Welcome Briefing. Wir erfahren, was uns diese Woche erwartet und auf welche Highlights wir uns besonders freuen dürfen, auf welche Regeln wir in der Gruppe achten wollen und dass man sich am Italienischen Fahrstil nicht unbedingt orientieren sollte :) Die Wettervorhersage sieht aktuell ganz fabelhaft aus und wir können es kaum erwarten morgen endlich die Motoren zu starten! An all unsere Freunde und Familien da draußen (Hallo Mami, Papi und Jenny!), WILLKOMMEN auf unserem Blog! Vielleicht denkst du auch selbst darüber nach eine Tour durch Italien zu fahren? Gerne nehmen wir euch alle mit und teilen unsere besten Momente und Abenteuer! Worauf warten wir noch? Los gehts! Italiens schönste Straßen ... wir sind bereit! Julia und Julian
Der erste Fahrtag bringt uns in die schönen und vielseitigen Regionen Latium sowie Umbrien, wo uns erste Bergige Straßen abseits des Trubels erwarteten. In Narni einem kleinen Ort auf dem Hügel gelegen gibts den ersten Kaffeestop inklusive Eis. In Montefalco brechen wir zum Lunch auf nach Art Dolce Vita. Die letzten kurvenreichen Straßen führen uns durch Aleen von Zypressen und schlussendlich ins herrlich gelegene Asissi.
Good morning Assisi. We start our day with a lovely cappuccino out on the hotel terrace where you have the most wonderful view down to the valley. An exciting day is waiting for us! We head north-west, pass Perugia and ride along the beautiful Lago Trasimeno. Lago is the Italian word for lake. Then we turn right into the hills with theirs wonderful winding roads. One of our highlights today is the unique city Cortona. You may recognize the charming little streets from the movie „Under the tuscan sun“. The weather is wonderful and after our little walk through Cortona we get back on the bikes. A lot more great motorcycle roads are waiting for us. Some might be a little bumpy. Have you recognized the majestic city walls of Urbino! What a picture. We enjoy some Italian delights, take great pictures and head off to our today’s destination: San Marino! We don´t want to arrive too late, the walk alone the three famous city towers is waiting for us. And a sunset that’ll take your breath away!
Today we left San Marino & get back to the EU, especially to the beautiful Tuscany. We had a great picnic and explore the monestary La Verna. The last path of the daytrip took us to the pass "Passo del Consuma".
What would you do if you had a full day in Florence? See Michelangelo´s famous David in the Galleria dell´Accademica, get lost and go shopping in the wonderful stores of the oldtown, enjoy coffee in one of the authentic bars, go on an exciting motocycle ride in the surrounded area or see the Pisa tower? We did it all! Ok, we might split up to make all this possible :) And yes, we rode to Pisa, the Pisa tower is not located in Florence. Our rest day ride led us to the famous Mugello race track! From there we continued our journey up on Passo Giogo, enjoyed a coffee on the top and made our way to Marradi. Those roads were just fantastic! Or in Bryan´s words: "I said this before,but this road was so good!" And he said that at every stop :) What a great day!
Today we were in San Gimigano, the Manhatten of the Tuscany. Here you find so many small stores, a toture museum and of course the big towers you can also walk up to 54m . Curvy roads leads us to our destination for tonight- Volterra!
After an authentic italien breakfast in one of the little cafes on the street we leave the magical town Volterra behind. But we don´t have much time to be sad as more wondeful places await us! And a lot of Tuscanys well paved winding roads! After a proper morning ride we enjoy a coffee in the little town Castellina with it´s pretty castle. From there we continue our ride to Greve in Chianti. Yes, we are riding through the Chianti region today and pass bye one wineyard after the other. Did anyone count all those black roosters we saw on the way? The symbol of Chianti Wine. In Greve we visit the Macelleria Falorni, which goes back to 1806! They still know how to make delicious food! Don´t miss to look up on the seeling :) As it´s saturday today we also get to see the weekly market in Greve. What a wonderful experience! The second part of the day ain´t any less curvy then the first. It seems like the roads in Tuscany were made for motocyclists. We enjoy the ride, arrive at our hotel in the afternoon, take a quick shower and off we go to the city center of Siena. The place known for it´s world famous horserace: Palio di Siena. It´s impressive to stay at "Piazza del Campo" where the race takes place. It goes back to the middle ages. Did you know it was originally used as land, wherre the rainwater could drain away? But Siena has even more to offer: of course we have a look at the beautiful Duomo with the unique mosaics inside, stroll around the little streets with all those cute shops and enjoy an italian gelato. Don´t you ever just call it "ice cream"
Our last riding day was fantastic- lakes,small mountains interessting visits in a city of caves. The group was in a good mood so we did about 250km of pure riding through Bella italia .
