and based on recommendations made by partner (biker friendly) hotel owners in the place, Motorrad Freizeit magazine 4/2020 has 10 excellent route suggestions. All 10 are easily created for yourself or downloadable using the the tour codes, via Kurviger. Pick up the magazine for free via the Readly app.

Together or singly, in full or in part, they would make an excellent holiday, with no more effort than that.

Yes, it’s all in foreign, as that is what the magazine’s authors speak, a language you’ll find throughout the area. But hey, you’d need to be pretty unimaginative not to able to have a pretty good guess at what things meant.

* Those terrified of (or revelling in) recent to reports of rising Moslem terror attacks and right wing nationalism in Austria can avoid (or hightail to) the area, just as soon as COVID-19 restrictions allow. Use the time between now and then usefully planning how you’ll do it or not.


PS I cannot recommend too highly the quality of the magazine and its sister German publications.
 
Here is route number one (2004MF18) using nothing more complicated than an iPad, displayed in Kurviger:

You could use Kurviger to give you a route from your home to anywhere on the route and back home again. Send it from there to your GPS device. It really is that easy, you’ll hardly break sweat.


PS Google translate tells me that ‘bikerdorf’, means ‘biker village’. How awesomely cool is that?

PPS Yes, I too think the girl in the pictures looks very stiff and un-relaxed on her motorcycle.

PPPS You can see more and critique the riding here:

All joking apart, at least they try to show what the area is like and make a bit of effort. Which is more than can be said for the English excuses for motorcycle ‘touring’ articles.
