8 days to get to Amsterdam from Calais..Ideas??

[adam81]

Making the most of the BH at the end of the month, and heading across the tunnel.

Will be 2 up, so not huge mileage.

Might pop down to Eagles nest, any suggestions on the way down of back up to Amsterdam I should look at?

Done France loads, and the blackforest before, but not much else in Germany.
Anyone got any must sees?

If you're heading for the Eagles Nest then you'll find ourself in some great countryside. Whilst in that neighbourhood I'd pop into Salzberg and definately check out http://www.grossglockner.at/en/hochalpenstrasse/anreise-und-routenplaner/

It depends which way you're going and what you've done before but the legendary Stelvio is "only" 4 hours away so easily included in a riding plan.

On my European trips I always seem to end up going through the Eiffel Mountains in Germany and having to pop into the Nurburgring.

There's so many places and things to see if you're heading down to the Italian/Austrian/German borders so it depends what you're after. e.g. the Italian lakes, Venice, Monaco etc

...although I've just noticed the "not huge mileage" comment. Ooops!

Grossglocker will still be closed according to website, Going earlyish in the year means I'll have to be bit careful how high I go. I was thinking lakes too.

Poland is a much underated touring country, loads of room on the roads as they are all over here but yes, poland is a beautifull country and well worth a look
