So here I go on the 8th of October from Manchester Uk to Cluj Napoca Romania passing through France, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and finally Romania where I will stay for a few days before I start the trip back to Uk crossing Hungary, Austria, Germany, France
So if you have any tips,suggestion,advise or you are just on the same route don't hesitate to contact me
Thank you and safe travels

Alex
You didn't say how long you had...
Bastogne in Belgium is nice and the road to Luxembourg from there is great, it goes through the Ardennes Forest, some great roads (forget the road number) You can pick up the Rhine valley and that as some great roads and scenery. There is also the B500 through the Black Forest in Germany (google it). Southern Germany through Bavaria is super and if you get chance to visit the Eagles Nest in Obersalzberg then do so, an amazing view and a bit of history. Then there is the Alps, I enjoyed the Fluelapass and there was a cafe on that road, some roads better that others but all are good.
Enjoy it where ever you end up or decide to go

Romania
Research and ride the Tranfargarasan & the Trans Alpina, both great roads and you can go down one way and back up the other.....
great scenery and light traffic!

UK to Romania.
Hi, sent you a draft of my ride report from my UK to Romania ride July/August this year. Hope it may be of some interest. Spent a week in Transylvania area and rode both Transalpina and Transfararasen. Went on motorways via Prague, Budapest and back via Bosnia and Croatia.
