Travel overview
Germany, like France, is not only a lovely country to ride (and not only on the
Autobahn!), when you're on your way to for instance
Italy, but it's also, like France, a great goal for a journy on itself.
The roads are very good, there are many hilly or mountainous regions, there are many places that are not crowded at all,
you can eat and drink deliciously, and the Germans are much nicer than the (Dutch) prejudices say.
Austria and Switzerland don't need an introduction, with their Alps!
In august 2006, we left home to ride to Romania. Ernst on his BMWR1100GS, and I on the Yamaha Tricker. Here the summary of the first stretch, through Germany and Austria.

In september 2004, we decided to visit the Intermot in München, Germany.
And when you're nearby, you might just as well ride on to the Alps.
Our friend Pim happens to live in Switserland, and we never visited him over there,
so it was clear that those Alps would be the Swiss Alps.

In 1996, I visited Mecklenburg Vorpommern, looking for White-tailed Eagles. We still did encounter many remnants of the communistic period.
