Austria and Dolomite bike tour
I am hiring a motorbike in Munich for week long trip with few friends. I want to cover Hallstatt, Austria and Dolomite region in Italy return to Munich.
I have done Salzburg, Zell am See and Grossglockner inthe past.
Please give me ideas for more places to see in these regions (including Bavaria) and good motorcycle roads to be tried.
Thank you
Badrakumar

Buying this book will give some ideas. Can be bad news though as it shows how many roads are out there that need to be ridden!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorcycle-.../dp/1884313388
As a starter, I'd put the places you want to cover into Google maps (other on-line maps are available) and then see what takes your fancy from the book.

After I did the Grossglöckner (staying at Hotel Mölltaler), I took the Plöckenpass south into Italy. Stopped for a gelato in Tolmezzo, then took SS52 (not the autovia!) east as far as Chiusaforte, then SP76/SS54 across the Slovenian border. Down to Bovec, and turned off to take the Vrsic Pass south-to-north. Spent the night at Kransjka Gora, next day continued to Lake Bled and Vintgar Gorge. From there I went to Maribor and back north into Austria, but it is also perfectly nice to follow the Soca river valley all the way down to Gorizia.
Then either head up into the foothills or shortcut across the Udine plains back into the mountains via Trento, check out Lago di Garda, and keep going west for long enough that you can get up to Bormio and approach the Stelvio Pass from the west. I would recommend cutting north into Switzerland from there - the eastern side of Stelvio is an absolute kick in the nuts despite the dramatic views - and check out Liechtenstein on your way back into Austria and the Bodensee coast. You can stop at Castle Neuschwannstein on the way back to Munich (great for selfies on the outside, apparently not worth the inside entry ticket).

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.
