Exclamation 1 Month European Adventure... Advice on Route/Roads to take Please

Hello Everyone, This is my first post. I posted this in the ADV Rider forums as well but I thought Id come here to seek more help and or advice on my journey.



I am planning a trip from the UK to Romania and back for next summer. (2011)

I plan to ride a Honda Transalp From Hoek Van Holland, into Germany, down the Rhine to the Black Forest & Lake Constance.

From there, I would follow the Alpenstrasse to Konigsee, then into Austria. In Austria I would visit the Grossglockner and Gesause National Park.

From there, I would ride to Brno in Czec Republic. Then Find a route down to Transfagarasan in Romania from the north, then down into Curtea de Arges, then go west (Rm. Vilcea - Horezu - Novaci) and do the Transalpina road (DN67C) to Rinca - Obirsia Lotrului - Sebes.

After that, I would travel through Bosnia going south to Dubrovnik in Croatia via Neretva valley, Mostar, and Kravica waterfalls.

Coastal Ride From Dubrovnik Up to Slovenia, Highway 66 with an island trip to Krk.

Then from Croatia into Slovenia, riding along the soca valley.

Then into Italy, where I've got my route covered thanks to a guy on the ADV rider forums. Next up Switzerland, where Ive got a route sorted also going from east to west through the alps.

After all of that, Id like to go up through France into Belgium where I will visit Bruges and then head home again to the UK.

When in France, apparently
The D964 from Neufcahtel to Sedan would be a good route back up towards Belgium. perhaps it will be possible to ride the Col de la Bonette...

Ive given myself 1 month and £2000 to cover this trip in.

What do you all think of it and can you point out any actual roads for me to ride? Ive got most of the locations just not a specific list of roads to travel on... time to get the road maps I suppose next. ANY ADVICE MUCH APPRECIATED!

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.
