I'm Belgian and I agree.
There isn't much Belgium offers to Bikers (except beers).
Maybe the Ardennes... there might be some nice roads, but nothing so special you wouldn't get in abundance in surrounding countries.

However if you are passing through the area South of Charleroi, PM me and I will provide a place to camp somewhere in the forest, on my land.

There are some nice quiet roads there :)

Wow! Is it possible to get access to this place? I *LOVE* taking pictures of derelict stuff which is why I went to Chernobyl last weekend. I don't want to hijack the thread - but I'd really like to find out more. Could you please PM me when you have a moment?

Thanks!!

Mup.

Phew! Thought I was going to be "corrected" for a moment.

When I'm heading to Germany in a hurry and don't have time to go the 'scenic' way through France / western Bavaria I get as far as Liege on the first night and camp there, sometimes popping up to Maastricht for some smokes. ;)

Would love to swap the campsite for your woodland and meet a fellow HUBBer one day, can I ping you a message too?

Mup.

Germany and so on ...
 

Well, I guess most of the spots were mentioned already and it all depends on what you want to see and how much time you have.

Mosel and Rhine rivers as well as the Romantic Street should be a must. I will go to Gemany (I am native German) again next year, for a short visit (2 weeks) and I have done this trip with Japanese friends and colleagues a couple of times (of course not by bike!!).

Spending 2 days in the Mosel area - definitely go for a wine taste (recommended place Briedel - check it on the web or google maps).

From there via Frankfurt to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Dinkelsbuehl and Noerdlingen. The last 2 are more interesting to visit than Rothenburg! Don't forget to walk to the top of the church in Noerdlingen (St Georg) which will offer you a spectacular view!!

Of course Fuessen with Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof is another must. From there you can easily go either to Salzburg or any other place. 7 years ago we even made it in one day to Venice and back to Fuessen.

Well, hope this helps a little. For more information please contact me.

thanks
 

Thanks everybody for your help, camping in the forest sounds good. I might be in touch. And the same goes for you to klaus. :thumbup1:

You could always use The Rough Guide or Lonely Planet or the like, or none of these at all, and you'd have the advantage of making independent choices about where you go. :thumbup1:

It could be liberating.

so so true & a bit like turning off your gps !!

Hey Muppix,

Of course, just send me a message.
I meant this for all HUBBers :)

I might not be around, but there's space.
