German Motorbike Route
I found information on this on the German tourist information site:
Destination Germany - Scenic Routes - German Motorbike Route
It says its a route around Germany about 9000km, but there is only a small pop up map. Does anyonne know anything about it?
Failing that any good routes for a long weekend in northern germany - im going to meet a pal in holland and drive north - no particular destinaton, just some good riding and fun.

I agree with all of that. Just to add to Gecko's post that there's also an area called Pfalzerwald (between Kaiserlautern and Karlsruhe) which is on the German Motorbike Route and seems to be largely ignored by everyone except the locals. Link below.

there is so many to add! in germany you can ride your bike on road more than 9.000 km! in the eifel there is the nürburgring, beneath the formular 1 racetrack there is the nordkurve, an old racetrack, where you can go fast and faster, but attention, it#s one of the demandingest tracks in the world, you wouldn't be the first death racer there.

very fine is the elbsandsteingebirge in the east of germany beneath dresden.

also the alps in the south, the harz in the middle and, and, and.

most of the roads are good asphalt, but its not so easy to find some legal gravel road or off road pists.

so have a fine journey!

Ahh - that info site is pretty useless Never saw it before...
I had to google around and did eventually find some information. Check out this site: http://www.road-concept.eu/uebersicht-msd

There's a download section offering four PDF files (north, west, east & south). They are in four different colours (yellow, red, green & blue).

What I didn't find were GPS files as download


If you can decipher German I could offer a link or two on POIs on parts of this route. PM or email me if you're interested.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
