Thüringen Forest

Many motorcycle miles and too hot weather but that has nothing to do with the trip. Beautiful environment for motorcycling along mostly good roads but the roads that weren't fixed up yet are also very bad. Big disadvantage were the many detours, you just do not get out and it takes you just an hour extra to find the route again and in some cases you can not find it again at all and then with 30 degrees plus. The hotel was super good and the weather was great. The hotel was super good with very friendly and helpful people and good food! However, the location of the hotel is too far to the north east so you have to travel way too many km before it gets a bit nice. The first 50 km from the hotel is only arable land. As a result, the routes are far too long. We took the short route every day and still did not get to the end. (Many small roads and many detours and many villages). The long routes cannot be done in one day or you have to leave very early. The driving of the routes was already not easy because you always had to search a lot to find the right way All in all, too much messing around and we have therefore  decided not to do this kind of trip again from Horizon.
