Summer Roadtrip 2013 - Our way home

Wonderful morning after rainy night. What could we wish more...

And finally... after seven hours of driving we are home. Wonderful roadtrip that I hope I will repeat again.

Summer Roadtrip 2013 - Nockalmstrasse

The title of today's entry could be "The Best for the Last". We really enjoyed every kilometer, every curve of today's roadtrip. Not talking only about the main aim of the trip (Nockalmstrasse) - which was actually the rainy place - that really sucks, since it provides astonishing sceneries - that are not that much visible in cloudy rainy days :-/. 

But if I omit this rainy part - the rest was like a dream. Almost empty roads, lot of fast curves, good qualitty of the asphalt... I cannot imagine better conditions.

Summer Roadtrip 2013 - Starnberger See

Well... today's trip as a journey itself wasn't the best I have to say. It was about 400km long but we went through pretty loaded (in terms of traffic) roads, also the landscape was relatively boring so the journey took prety much of energy to us. At least the main point of our journey - Starnberger See was a nice surprise. Pure water, not that many people (maybe due to the fact, that it was a working day), ideal place where you wanna be during a hot day (it was about 31-32°C). So at least this relax at the lake was a good way how to re-fill the energy and to be able to continue in our trip.

Summer Roadtrip 2013 - Krimml waterfalls

Today's trip was magnificent. Great weather, but what is more important - great nature, landscape and also the most important thing for every biker - great roads! Main point of interest for today were the Krimml waterfalls. They are the highest waterfalls in Austria (together about 380m). They are located near Zell am See discrict in Salzburg county.

After some refreshment (espresso and water) we continued in our trip through really astonishing series of windy curves. Something like a heaven for every biker. 

Wonderful vantage point that was something like a bonus
to series of great road turns

Summer Roadtrip 2013 begins!

Since we took a short trip to Slovakia two weeks ago and it would be probably too exhausting to take another trip that would be even more time consuming, we decided to take pretty short one to already known place in Bavaria, Germany. The place that I am talking about is Auerwirt gasthof that is located close to Berchtesgaden. We are going to spend there four nights and we will travel to interesting sites and places nearby (mainly Austrian Alps and Bavarian part of Germany). So that's the plan.
