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.

Have a look at BestBikingRoads.com Motorcycle Travel, Motorcycle Touring, Motorcycle Routes, Motorcycle Roads, Motorcycle GPS, GPS Motorcycle Rides, Motorbike Roads - you can down load routes to a GPS or just maps. It's free and run by a pal of mine :thumbup1:
Anywhere aorund the Eifel area is great. Black Foprest excellent, Sauerland east of Dirtmund very good . There is in fact laods of great biking in Germany and if you are a speed freak - autobahns without speedlimits .... :eek3:

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 :thumbdown: 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 :crying:


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.
