Self Drive Motorcycle Tour

Welcome to Munich, the capital of Bavaria.

After collecting your Harley-Davidson motorycle from the rental office, you begin your trip and travel to the Chiemsee, where you will stop for lunch. Your overnight stay is in Mozart's hometown Salzburg.

Today you learn more about the legendary Eagle's Nest, the Kehlsteinhaus. In the Third Reich, the building atop the summit of the Obersalzberg was used by members of the NSDAP for government and social gatherings. You spend the night in Berchtesgaden.

First thing in the morning you will visit the saltmine, where the famous Bad Reichenhall brand salt originates. Deep down underneath the Salzberg mountain a secret world awaits you. For many years, only the salt miners in Berchtesgaden were allowed to enter the complex tunnel system. You continue your ride to the Königssee, where a boat trip to the St. Bartholomä island and several other sights awaits you. Accommodation is near Zell am See.

On your longest day of this motorcycle tour, the most famous High Alpine Road leads you into the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, to the highest mountain in Austria, the Grossglockner (3798m) and its glacier, the Pasterze. It is a driving and nature experience of a special kind on 48 kilometers of high alpine road with 36 bends and curves, and an altitude ascent of 2504 metres. You will pass a unique world of mountains with blossoming alpine meadows, fragrant mountain forests, massive cliffs and eternal ice at the foot of the Grossglockner, the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe. You continue over the Gerlospass to the Achensee and finally arrive at your destination Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

In the morning of your last day you will enjoy another unforgettable experience up high on the roof of Germany, arriving by cable car. With an altitude of close to 3000 meters (10000 feet), the Zugspitze is the highest peak in Germany. You will then ride back to Munich by passing the Starnberger See and return your Harley-Davidson motorcycle to the rental office.
