Its the scenery that does it for me rather than the roads.

I did the Black Forest, the Ardennes and the Mosel valley on the SilverWing without any trouble, I hope I can now do the same on the trike that my arthritis has 'forced' me onto !!

During the 80`s and 90s 1 went every year sometimes we flew in to munich /dusseldorf and either drove down or went by train ,then once there we hired bikes out . We often stayed in Berchesgarden and saltzburg .please excuse the spelling . The food and people were great as was the beer festivals which we attended many ( for educational purposes ) .
We visited so many places including Eagles nest ,the salt mines with its under ground lakes and the ice castle is fantastic .The one thing i did notice was you never got a hangover from the beer . There was also a disco held under the barn hoff (train station) with revolving bars and beautiful ladies smoke machines and lots of white suited JT look a likes .The sausages were awesome but sour crout is nasty . I will travel there again on the scoot in the future if health allows .
