Day 4 Alps and Lakes Tour CAL1201
22 May 2012
We have reached Kaprun, a wonderful mountain village surrounded by 10,000 ft peaks.
Yesterday's highlight was Hallstatt, a UNESCO World Heritage Sight - we now know why. Beautiful is the right word!
Today we are headed for the Grossglockner, Austria's highest mountain pass!
---------------------------------------------
Today started out picture-perfect. A wonderful ride to the Eagle's Nest near Berchtesgaden in bright sunshine. The roads today can only be described with one word: breath-taking. But unfortunately you have to have rain once while you are in Central Europe - and this is what we had in the second half of the day. But the delicious pastries on the Post-Alm let everybody forget about that and the dinner with Salmon and Beef made up for everything!

The first Alps and Lakes Tour of 2012 has left Munich yesterday and has already reached one of the highlights of this tour: Salzburg. A perfect evening was the matching end for a great day. Six Harleys, and BMWs, Triumph, Ducati and Kawasaki are now ready for another beautiful day on this Germany-Austria tour.
