The latest edition of Tourenfahrer magazine (February 2023) has quite a nice piece on a weeklong jaunt. Parts of it (the freely translated blurb from the German article explains) is in on unmetalled roads; just right for the Adventure (with a capital A) motorbike owner….
To ride a motorcycle
Away from the main routes, you are always on roads with natural surface. Where these are also used by heavy trucks, they quickly turn into corrugated sheet metal. Here you can look forward to a suitable tire tread and a chassis with taker qualities. If you accept detours, these sections can also be bypassed. Friends of cornering over mountain routes will not get their money's worth at a maximum height of 318 meters. However, the thin settlement outside the cities invites you to stroll through a motorcycle through "a lot of landscape".
Outbound journey
If you want to travel to the Baltic States by ferry from Germany, you can fall back on various connections. We have chosen Kiel-Klaipėda with the shipping company DFDS (www.dfds.com). The crossing takes about 20 hours. You arrive in Kiel until boarding in the early evening, the destination port will be reached the next day around 6 p.m. local time. It is therefore advisable in any case to reserve the quarter in advance for the first night. Price advantages are brought by the advance booking of meals.
If you have more time for an arrival and / or departure by land, you should, e.g. B. coming from Berlin, plan for at least two days. The trip through Poland offers the opportunity to incorporate many attractive areas of land into the journey, including Masuria.
I guess bods from the UK might use the Kiel route, too? Or you can ride along the the excellent north German coastline for a couple of days.
Full details here, including a detailed map and a downloadable GPX file, for a couple of euro. One instant holiday.
