Finally back on tour!!
After a heavy year of corona crisis, finally all the tours start to pick up again. We are very happy that we have a great group of riders from the USA who flew into Munich to join us for the first Best of Europe tour again!
Without having much problems everyone was on time and excited to go on this really nice tour to see the really heart of Europe and ride through it's gorgeous landscape
We started out in Erding , east of Munich with a nice sunny sky and a good riding temperature our way heading into a northwestern direction
We stopped in Wolznach and drank some refreshments and coffee at a nice terrace in the center of the old city
A great day for riding and for the riders a good opportunity tomget used to their bikes and the local traffic and its habits
And around 5.30 pm we rode intto the beautiful old citycenter of Rothenburg
in the evening some customers joined us for a walking city tour with the famous Nightwatcher. A very entertaining guy who has a couple of nice stories to tell during the walk
A little bonus was a Simon and Garfunkel teibite band which was a very nice ending of this first riding day
With a nice riding temperature we left the lovely city of Heidelberg to bend off southward. With a first stretch on the highway we took the exit to the famous Black Forest. A great way to sharpen the riding skills. Nice long swerving roads and great views put a wide smile on everybody's face.
Later it became even better with numerous switchbacks and more challenging curves. After a relaxed lunch at the cosy Mummelsee ( lake) we rode further down and then westboud over the river Rhine into France where we will stay for two nigjts in the pitoresque village of Ribrauvillé
What a great riding day it was today! Throughout the day a super riding temperature, great roads and spectacular views.
we rode from Bonndorf tothe Rhinefalls at the border of Germany and Switzerland, followed our way along the Lake Constance , over a couple of amazing mountain passes with super pavement. A riding day as it always should be !! Ending up in the fantastic wellness hotel up in the Alps. We ended the day with a spectacular fireworks on the icecream of Aaron since hr has it s birthday today! Yes
After a very nice and relaxed stay in the super nice hotel in Warth, we had an excellent last riding day. Sunny and warm we rode through the beautiful Lech valley to the Ammer Alps. Along the blue/green Plansee we visitiled Linderhof castle and had a nice lunch
A last stretch of highway and the tour came to an end in Erding near Munich.
Thank you, all great customers for your good company and great riding. Hope to see you all on another Edelweiss Tour
