Review motorcycle trip

Sytze Van der Veen

  Record motorcycle group trip Italyë June 16-22, 2017 For me, the first time I went abroad as far as vacationing alone.My choice of this trip was because you have the support of a group and organized itineraries where you come back to a fixed place every day. Day 1. I made use of overnight accommodation in Ulm hotel Löwen *** thereby using the approach route from horizon. I personally found the approach route too long and disappointing. The route was mainly on roads with sections of highway where you went from place to place. The part along the water was beautiful. Ultimately, almost 12 hours on the bike, this was for me for a first day a little too long. The hotel Löwen is a small hotel in a cul-de-sac just outside the center. The room looks clean and the bed sleeps well, only thing missing is a refrigerator. The room itself I found fairly warm. Breakfast was good and can be enjoyed from 7 to 10.. Day 2. Again, the possibility to follow the route of horizon, but due to the disappointing route itself decided to skip the first part and only towards the border to pick up the route. From there the route starts to look a bit like what you will get in Italy. Note that you go through the felbertauern tunnel and here you have to pay 10,- euro toll. You are going to get this tunnel on the way back as well. Arriving at the hotel there are already a number of participants waiting for the next, also the tour guide is now present and welcomes me. After checking in, you and the group can already enjoy a 3-course menu that changes every day. Day 3 to 5 Each day a new route from horizon. The routes start quietly and end in pass to pass. the roads are not always of the best quality so pay attention to the bumps. The location of the hotel you always come through 1 of the 2 passes this seems the end of the route often the same. some routes also lead you through roads that are no wider than a bike path where the road 20% up or down goes very challenging so. The routes are despite being delivered in GPX sometimes calculated strangely so you sometimes 500 meters somewhere left and then can turn around or have a through road and the navigation suddenly want to send you on a goat path. So keep your own mind there and do not always sail on the navigation. Pay attention to the routes on the refueling options sometimes the route seems only 70 kilometers long but you do 2 hours over. Along the routes enough opportunities for something to eat and drink.. Hotel Evaldo **** Hotel is located in the valley so after 4 hours it often gets cold quickly.Because the hotel is located in the valley you have only 1 real possibility to refuel nearby. The room has all the comforts and is cleaned every day. You get the possibility of a refrigerator with water 2,- euro per bottle. It is not difficult to put your own drinks in it. Because the hotel is 4 stars, the prices are also after, go for a glass of cola from 3.50 and for a beer or wine 5 euros. With every order you are asked for your room number and you have to sign a signature. Every day there is a menu with many pasta dishes. Dessert consists mainly of sweets. Breakfast is extensive and you are always asked if you want coffee and an egg. The hotel has a garage where the bike can be parked and for the enthusiast has a pressure washer to clean the bike. Back I have followed the route of horizon. here you came in Switzerland still through a few beautiful areas and via Gerlos alpenstrasse where 6,- euro Toll had to be paid. This is the cost of motorcycling. Costs motorcycling: TOL: 26,- 2x felbertauerntunnel , 1x Gerlos alpenstrasse Gasoline: Approximately 300,- euro All in all a successful trip. All in all a successful vacation that will definitely be booked again through Horizon.
