Help me plan 4-6 day Germany trip/ride
I'll be travelling to Germany from the U.S. in early to mid September for business and plan on taking 4-6 days off at the end and renting a bike for some touring (all street). I've got a line on a BMW RT or GT through ADMo tours, but am willing to listen to views on where to get a BMW for rent. I'd prefer the RT but would settle for the GT, or a GS. I have a 1200 GS Adventure, so I'm familiar with them. I'm considering the RT as my next bike, thus the preference.
I'll be in the Karlsruhe area, but could travel to Heidelberg or Frankfurt to pick up the bike if necessary.
I'm REALLY looking for advice on what to see and do during the trip. My interests are touring through mountain regions, architecture (castles, etc.) and history. Ideally, I'd prefer areas that aren't terribly choked with tourists and have lots of scenery and local charm.
Over on ADV, someone mentioned going to the Alsace and Vosgas mountain areas of France. I'm open to going wherever the great rides are. Maybe the Black Forest and/or the Swiss Alps?
BTW, I'll probably stay in hotels, so I don't have to lug camping equipment across the pond.
Any advice?
Regards,
John
