I had a total of 2500 miles on 9 days of which we had about 1650 miles on 7 days in the mountains.

And this is a group picture of us all. Taken at Panoramica. From the left Wolfgang, Irmgard, Martina, Thomas and I

I go all across Germany to Schwabmünchen

Together with Wolfgang and Irmgard we go to Calalzo di Cadore. Weather is not cooperating. It is raining and quite chilly.

Before we pass Hantenjoch we have a coffee

Later on in Öztal (Öz valley) it stops raining but it remains chilly

View to Timmelsjoch from Sölden

Quite cold on top of Timmelsjoch

and it is almost freezing

But views are very nice

Tour continues via Jaufenpass

and Penser Joch

First loop through the Dolomites. Martina comes with us. We will go over some rather high passes.

But we stick to our morning coffee routine

Morning coffee at Staulanza

Giau Pass with big views

Fedaia with reservoir

After lunch

we go over Grödner Joch

Thomas and Martina enjoy the view

Sella Joch is the last big pass of the day

Großglockner Day.

Großglockner is the highest Austrian Mountain. There is a toll road crossing the area which delivers unbelievable views. A long tour this day but it will be worth it.

First we get into a police check less than 3 miles from where we started. Everything was ok.

Coffee break at Iselsberg Pass

And then we get the full beauty of Großglockner

The glacier at Franz-Josef-Höhe

Thomas enjoys being there

Hochtor - view to the south

Motorbikes all over the place

View from Edelweißspitze

We go back via Staller Sattel. There is an alternating one way system in operation. You can go to Italy only the first quarter of each hour.

Martina comes with us onto an Eastern loop.

Roads are quite narrow and passes not quite high

Monte Rest

Lunch in a nice Italian restaurant

Monte Zoncolan

Fog on Panoramica. But we can imagine the view

A very wet day. We wanto to go West over some higher passes. The roads are wet and we have heavy rain from time to time.

Coffee break. We will return to this place in the afternoon

Lunch. It starts pouring

After Rolle Pass. I could not see anything in heavy rain combined with fog and steamy glasses.

The last tour brings us to Slowenia and to the Mangart road. A jewel. Magnificient views. We had some fog on the top and could not see much up there.

Mangart road

Wolfgang and Irmgard enjoy the view

We return to Germany.Via Würzjoch, Jaufenpass and Timmelsjoch and then via Kühtai. It is still quite chilly and we have some rain on Kühtai.

Würzjoch is quite a busy pass

Nice view

Bikers everywhere. On Jaufenpass too.

We say goodbye to Italy on Timmelsjoch. Wolfgang and Irmgard climbing the pass.

Last view back to Italy

The toll station

I return to Berlin
