We go deeper into the mountains of Switzerland - we go sloooow. On twistiy roads we reach Schwägalp and the cable car to the top of Säntis.The Rhine Valley and along Liechtenstein we reach the narrow pass roads of Furkaoch and Hochtannbergpass. Adrenalin and fun!
The Jägeralpe in Warth is a perfect finish for the day.
Day 6: Ribeauvillé - Schaffhausen (Switzerland)
Three countries on one day! The route will take us from France over the Maginot Line to the river Rhine, the German/French border. After cruising on some back roads in the Black Forest we will enjoy the famous black forest cake in Hexenlochmühle, a mystic witch place.
And than we sneek in over a small border crossing into the land of milk and money - Switzerland.
The Rhine Fall in Schaffhausen is .the largest in Europe and Schaffhausen itself absolutey worth to sit.- specially on the motorcycle :-)
Day 5: Ribeauvillé
Today we have a rest day where everybody is free to do what ever he is up to, no matter if you want to explore the area by your own, or discover the local sight by walking such as museums or wine tastings or even go out for a ride with the tour guides on our rest day route.
Todays rest day ride took us up to the most famous fortresses of the Alsace region the "Hautkönigsbourg"
Not only the castle itself is a highlight not to miss but also the view from up there is just fabulous.
After the panoramic view from the view point at the castle we went further on over several mountain passes, like "le col du bonhomme" or "le col de la schlucht".
Curve after curve we are able to improve our riding skills.
After a few hours riding it was time to rejoin the rest of the group to enjoy a nicely prepared picnic at the hotel.
Some of us finished the afternoon with a second ride, others went for shopping or enjoying the nice town by a small walking tour.
Tonight we go out for dinner and watching the worldcup game between France and Belgium.
Day 4: Heidelberg - Ribeauvillé (France)
Our route today leads us through the Black Forest and the Rhine Valley into France. The roads were so beautiful we had not so much time for pictures.
a short stop at Mummelsee at the Schwarzwald Hochstrasse
Day 3: Rothenburg - Heidelberg
After a funny tour with the nightwatchman yesterday evening we started with perfect weather and good mood direction Heidelberg. Castle Langenburg was the first picture stop before we rolled along the river Jagst to Schöntal. Schöntal means cake!!!!! Two beautiful castles in the afternoon and than Heidelberg.
Any more wishes??
