A five-day weekend through Germany's Romantic Road and Black Forest...

Thank you for your excellent detailed post with great pictures! We just got back two weeks ago from a trip on the Deutschen Alpenstraße but we were in a car (Audi A4 Wagon). One morning after spending the night at the Seehotel in Kochler, a band of renegade BMW R1200GS's drove by. I told my wife I'd rather be with doing that. I have been getting pricing on a rental bike per week. I might stay longer, since there is so much to see in the region. What I do know is that it is the most beautiful place I've been in my 55 years. My son did a couple semesters in Salzburg Austria and tells me I must drive to Innsbruck and see the Alps from that vantage point. We also drove up the B500 through the Black Forest, but so many places, the road was completely closed so we missed a lot. We spent our final night in Frankfurt, Germany in a palace built by Queen Elizabeth's daughter called Schlosshotel Kronberg. It was the nicest hotel I have ever spent the night in, and the cost was a bit over euro 100! I highly recomend it to those of you who want to feel like royalty once in your life.

mustangguy,

Thank you for the comments and kind words on the ride report. I’m glad that you got to see some of the best of Germany - even if it was on 4 wheels. Technically, our trip was on four wheels as well! Your advice on the Schlosshotel Kronberg sounds like a place worth experiencing. Cheers!

Awesome RR! I love Germany for travel as there is a lot of history to see and the food and beer are amazing too.

Thanks for the comment. So true about the food - I gained 15 lbs within a few months of living in Germany.
