Description
If you are one of those bikers who love winding mountain roads and appreciate the tangy flavour of fine beer in the evening after a great day's ride, then we have the right tour for you!
The start and finish of this very special tour of Austria is in the neighbourhood of the cultural and Mozart city of Salzburg. We spend the evening on arrival in an inn whose brewery products have already won several awards and are just waiting to be scrutinised by our palates. A great first taster of our evening endeavours during the entire tour. Every night is spent in "beer-related" surroundings. Sometimes in a brewery with overnight accommodation, sometimes in a hotel close to a brewery, but always with great local beers for dinner.
Of course, the joy of motorcycling is anything but neglected. Resounding names that make the hearts of die-hard motorbike enthusiasts beat faster ensure fun on mountain and panoramic roads: Großglockner High Alpine Road, Nockalm Road, Hochkönig, Krimml Waterfalls, Kalkalpen National Park, Zillertal High Alpine Road. To name just a few.
Tour dates:
From/to Salzburg approx. 1,400 km, medium-high difficulty, including motorway stages, city crossings and mountain crossings with numerous bends and hairpin bends.
