Trip to the Bavarian Alps

Summer time is vacation time and this trip should have been to Scotland, but as COVID-19 came to Europe, we did the right thing to cancel the ferry and postponed this trip for some other time.
In 2020 we had way less opportunities to ride our motorcycles and were really lucky and fortunate to have been able to book a trip to southern Germany, as the infection numbers were really low last summer in Germany. Precautions were taken and the rooms were booked and we were able to pack our bags together with five other riders and a pillion rider.

Ten days in the bavarian alps were just what we needed after the very sudden lock-down we had from March to June 2020. The trip from Aachen to our hotel in Pfronten was about 640km long, so we decided to spend a night in the middle of the route and have two relaxed trips down to our destination.

We started our trip on a Sunday and pretty much drove all the way to our first hostel on the highway. The hostel is called Hotel Garni Steinbacher Tal and located in Heidelberg. The owners were really nice and it was super tough to climb the narrow stairs to our room, the great breakfast made up for it. They even made a special vegan breakfast for us.

The next step was driving up to Pfronten and our hotel for the next 8 nights: Gasthof Aggenstein – Typical German food, a great room with lots of space for our motorcycle equipment, a shed to park all our motorcycles in and last but not least a huge terace with a beautiful view on the alps.

The next days were a mix of good riding through the alps, fun with our fellow riders and searching for a place to eat that also has a vegan option.

One thing I always carry with me on trips where we stay at hotels is my Remington Hair Dryer:

The On The Go hairdryer is perfect for on the go, not only because of its foldable handle. With a power of 1400 watts, it generates a powerful airflow of 50 km/h. The On The Go Hairdryer D2400 is equipped with 2 combined heating and blower settings. A styling nozzle, manual voltage adjustment and hanging eyelet round out the hair dryer’s features.
