Any ideas for this summer (central europe)?

Hi guys, I have the last two weeks of august for travelling, and I have no idea how to go to. Located in southern germany, I think I already travelled the most common places in my neighbourhood, including poland and the baltic states.
I just like to ask if you have some great ideas to go to. Secret places, less tourism, nice roads, unknown adventures.
Like to hear from you!! Fellow riders are alway welcome!
Cheers, Michael

You could consider island hopping - not in Greece but on some of the northern islands - Borkum, Norderney etc. Should be ok in August. Or if you're feeling really adventurous try some of the UK islands - the Hebrides for example.

Definitely all off you riders are missing some great roads, scenery and good, good food and very friendly people..... half the price for everything that you are paying in Western Europe.
Come and ride Serbia ,Montenegro , Bosnia and Herzegovina and..

Remember we are not in a war any more that is over back in 95 and we don't kill and torture. people a specially not friendly bikers...

WELCOME TO SERBIA safe ride

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.
