Maps

[Punchy]

Im off to Germany again in May for the Thunderaceclub.de meeting, Harz mountains this year :-0)

Ive been looking for a map of the area, I usually go for the Michelin series but couldnt find a suitable map of the Harz until I came up with a set from these people http://www.mapsman.com/store/category.php?id=30. The Mottorrad series are aimed specifically at motorcyclists. They are at a scale of 1cm=2km and are plastic coated so that they are not only waterproof but you can mark the route with a felt tip and clean it off when your finished. The maps show motorcycle meeting points, good touring roads and "beautiful motorcycle routes" BTW map 10 covers just what I wanted.

Enjoy your trip.
We were there 4 years ago. Stayed in The Hotel Harmonie, the biker hotel in Bad Grund run by Simon.
Lovely area.
Take care on the pot holed, old cobbled roads

Cheers Roxxo Ive visited the Harz before spending only a day exploring with Mikew.

This meeting is being arranged by Thunderaceclub.de so we will have two days of fast touring followed by 1 or 2 days on our own. The club has bulk booked the Maratim Berghotel in Braunlage.

While you are over there, check out wernigerode & Quedlinburg... Bloody wonderful places... Have fun.

We have also stayed with Simon, and although we enjoyed his hospitality, we had more fun at the Hotel Belle View (http://www.hotel.bellevue.harz.de/)

Its over 100 years old, looks like Draculas castle, and has a great bar in the cellar. Brilliant food, right in the village centre, good hosts, and if I remember rightly, a bit less expensive than Hotel Harmonie.

Thanks for the tip on the Hotel Belle View.

We stayed in Quedlinburg two years ago at a converted printing works, very clean, good price for b+b
and we were allowed to lock our bikes in the garage.

I had one of the best steaks ever at an Italian restaurant in the old square.
