We had to temporarily stop our round-the-world trip after one month in self-isolation in Colombia. Reluctantly we returned to Europe, unsure how things would turn out for us. Our motorbike and pretty much all our belongings were left behind in Bogota. But it wasn&#8217;t!!! <\/em><\/p><p><strong>We had an amazing summer, doing something that I feel many of us travellers often overlook: discovering our home country!! <\/strong>The same is true for us. I had barely seen anything of Germany whilst my desire to explore foreign places on new continents seemed to be ever growing. Fiona also had many beautiful parts of the UK left to explore.  <strong>This summer I finally had the opportunity to see my own country, introduce Fiona to it and, to top it all off, do it all on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro<\/strong>! <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trip Summary <\/h2><p>In total we rode <strong>3750 miles<\/strong> from the isle of <strong><em>R\u00fcgen<\/em><\/strong>, covering the <strong><em>Harz <\/em><\/strong>and <strong><em>Elbe Sandstone<br>mountains<\/em><\/strong>, all across Austria, exploring the <strong><em>best mountain passes in the Alps<\/em><\/strong>. On the way<br>home, we crossed the <strong><em>Black Forest<\/em><\/strong> with a few detours into the neighbouring countries. Here are our Top Travel Tips for all motorbike enthusiasts who are on the lookout for their next<br>travel destination in Europe:<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Off-Road_Adventure_in_Lossatal\"><\/span>1.

But we just had to share this incredible experience with the ADV community out there! The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enduroactionteam.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Enduro Action Team<\/a> organises a yearly <strong>\u201cAdventure Ride Competition\u201d (ARC)<\/strong>. It is the largest Adventure Bike riding competition open to ALL BRANDS in the world! <\/p><p>The terrain is very varied and challenging with  <strong><em>deep gravel<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>sand<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>single trails<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>steep hills<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>mud<\/em><\/strong>. It will certainly allow you to push yourself beyond your limits. Despite that, the ARC is open to participants of any skills level and offers training all year round. <\/p><p>During our travels, Fiona and I have had to cross countless rivers, ride through deep volcanic ash and rode countless miles off-road two up. Nonetheless, we were absolutely impressed by what the Enduro Action Team had to offer. What better way to start an <strong>epic road trip<\/strong>, than to push the bike to its (or better, and more honestly, said: my own) limits than during the ARC? <\/p><p>Despite its 900cc the <strong>Tiger 900 RALLY PRO <\/strong>is <strong><em>very light<\/em><\/strong> and has a <strong><em>lower centre<br>of gravity<\/em><\/strong>, which makes for much easier handling off road, especially during slow speed<br>manoeuvres. Its top-notch suspension ensures a smooth ride in any terrain. If you want to<br>experience the <em><strong>superb throttle response<\/strong> <\/em>and balance of the Tiger 900 Rally Pro you can rent<br>it directly from the Enduro Action Team in Lossatal. Trust me, you won\u2019t be left<br>disappointed! Anyone looking for their next off-road adventure, needs to look no further!<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Harz_Mountains\"><\/span>2.

But what makes it particularly special are all the little, <strong><em>medieval villages<\/em><\/strong> scattered across with <strong><em>colourful, half-timbered houses<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>castles<\/em><\/strong>. They make for truly picturesque stops as you explore the area. <\/p><p><strong>The Harz is the highest mountain range in Northern Germany<\/strong> and a great place to explore by bike, thanks to its many twisting roads. As soon as we arrived, I decided to put the Tiger 900 Rally Pro into sport modus and we had an absolute blast! Another feature I really loved was the <strong>quickshifter<\/strong>. It enabled <strong><em>quicker gear changes<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>faster acceleration<\/em><\/strong> and was particularly fun in the mountains. <\/p><p>Our favourite towns in The Harz region were <strong>Goslar<\/strong>, <strong>Wernigerode <\/strong>and <strong>Quedlingburg.<\/strong> We didn\u2019t take the time to hike much as we were too busy enjoying the turns.

From the Harz mountains we rode east, until just before the German-Czech border, into the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. On our way we rode along the river Elbe, passed many vineyards and some picturesque towns. <\/p><p><strong>The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are hands down the most beautiful and impressive National Park in Germany! <\/strong>The landscape is truly breathtaking and unique. Here you can find rocks and ravines made of sandstone, surrounded by thick spruce forests. If you come to this region you MUST hike to the <strong>Bastei Bridge<\/strong>. It will reward you with dramatic views of the surrounding landscape. <\/p><p>We were so impressed with Saxon Switzerland, that we also wanted to discover the region from the Czech side, the so-called <strong>Bohemian Switzerland<\/strong>. A merely half-hour drive down the road will take you to the Czech Republic. From here you will be able to hike to the Prebischtor. It&#8217;s the largest natural sandstone bridge in Europe!  On your way back, you can hike through the <strong>Edmundsklamm gorge<\/strong> and then take a boat back up the stream to your original starting point. I highly recommend visiting Bohemian Switzerland too if you already find yourself in the Elbe Sandstone mountains.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Wachau_an_der_Danube\"><\/span>4.

He kindly offered to show us his home: the Kremstal! He showed us the best biker routes around, such as the winding <strong><em>\u201eWei\u00dfenkirchen in der Wachau Stra\u00dfe\u201c<\/em><\/strong> with stunning views of the valley. On the way back, we visited gorgeous vineyards and lovely, little villages. And late afternoon, when the rain finally caught up with us, we found shelter in one of the numerous taverns. <\/p><p>The next few days were a little colder and rainy so we were grateful for the opportunity to try out the heated seats of our Tiger 900 Rally Pro. With Fiona being able to adjust the heat of her seat by herself, it goes without saying that this function was an absolute hit. Not only with me as the driver, but also for my pillion! <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t miss a day trip to Krumau <\/h2><p>If you are travelling here from Bohemian Switzerland, it is definitely worth<br>visiting the <strong><em>fairy-tale town of Krumau on the Vlatva River<\/em><\/strong> in the Czech Republic on the<br>way. You can of course also explore Krumau as a daytrip from Wachau! It\u2019s a little far and<br>requires an early start but you won\u2019t regret the journey. <\/p><p>The best way to explore Krumau is to get lost in the many <strong><em>old alleys<\/em><\/strong> which somehow all lead past the <strong><em>castle<\/em><\/strong> and provide you with a magnificent view of the old town and the surrounding forests. The Vlatava flows directly through this delightful, little town. In the summer you can let yourself drift on a kayak right across the town if you need to cool off. Alternatively, just take in the views from one of the many, delightful restaurant terraces in the old town.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Styria\"><\/span>5.

We had a wonderful time in Carinthia, during which we also spent time at lake Ossiach and Millst\u00e4dter. They are two significantly quieter options to the popular W\u00f6rthersee if you want to avoid the crowds.<\/p><p>There are quite a few noteworthy biker routes around here like the Gerlitzenstrasse. But our absolute favourite biker road was <strong>Nockalmstra\u00dfe<\/strong>. It offers several challenging hairpins and I certainly felt it was a good practice run before taking on the mighty Gro\u00dfglockner. By now I had spent enough time on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro to really get to know it and lean into the corners, appreciating the state-of-the-art ergonomics of this bike. <strong>I strongly recommend riding popular biking roads first thing in the morning to avoid traffic<\/strong>, and ideally avoid weekends entirely. This enabled us to have the roads mostly to ourselves despite peak season. In addition to that, come afternoon, we were already back and relaxing at one of the many beautiful lakes.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Grosglockner\"><\/span>7.

It belongs to a group of Alps that<br>border on Salzburg, Tyrol and Carinthia. In order to be one of the first riders in the<br>morning, we strategically camped near Heiligenblut am Gro\u00dfglockner the night before. And it certainly paid off! <\/p><p>We shared the roads with very few riders but by 11am the traffic already started picking up. The Gro\u00dfglockner is after all <strong><em>the most famous panoramic road in Europe<\/em><\/strong>. It offers <strong>36 tight bends<\/strong>, up to <strong>12% incline<\/strong> and a pass height of 2500 meters. <\/p><p>We reached the highest point, the <strong>Edelwei\u00dfspitze<\/strong> in perfect timing for lunch with phenomenal views of the imposing, snow-covered mountains. The afternoon was spent in Zell am See, a nice, small town in the middle of the Alps. The lake offered a welcome cooling off after this exhilarating ride with mesmerising views of the Alps all around the lake. Alternatively, you can start the other way around and drive the Gro\u00dfglockner from the toll station in Ferleiten to Heiligenblut.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_German_Alpine_Road\"><\/span>8.

F\u00fcssen itself is a charming, old town with a total of three castles and a stunning lake. In addition, there are endless hiking trails so you can easily spend a few days here to explore the area, castles and all of its history. <\/p><p>Overall, the Austrian Alpine Roads are more breathtaking. However, the German Alpine Road is not only <strong><em>toll-free<\/em><\/strong>, but also offers really great stops along the way. Lake Constance is a great place to visit that you will reach at the end of the Alpine Road. Our favourite place at Lake Constance though was the beautiful small town of <strong>Meersburg<\/strong>. We loved the <strong><em>tiny, paved streets<\/em><\/strong>, old <strong><em>castle<\/em><\/strong> complexes and a stunning lake promenade lined with restaurants and cafes directly overlooking the lake. Meersburg is also surrounded by vineyards which can be easily explored by foot.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Alsace_Wine_Road\"><\/span>9.

There are many delightful hiking trails that lead to it, but you can also use the main car park which only requires a short, yet steep walk down to the castle with awe-inspiring views. The way back is a little longer, but flat, and leads through the forest.
