Slovenia's nice.
So is Italy and the roads to both from Austria are great.

Look up the Mangart road, just in Slovenia via the Passo di Predl- there is a 5 Euro toll but its a bargain-Proper GS road with one of the best views in the Alps at the top.

There was a video posted on here last year-bit busy with guests at the moment but if you can't find it I will do so later for you when all our thirsty bikers stop drinking!

Finally got a bit of spare time so here is a link to a short film of the Mangart road http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ_A5OyX5ME

This little road has become a popular choice for many of our guests, easily do able from our place either as part of one of my "3 countries" tours or direct there via the Passo di Predl.

Grossglockner is still just about my favourite Alpine road. (My 1200 liked it so much it broke down on it so it could stay longer. And I stayed in Kaprun while my 1200 was being mended in the BMW dealers there.)

Reminds me I need to go back again and ride the Grossglockner properly.

I spent a couple of happy hours there, just last week.

Was on holiday in Kaprun last week, did a coachtrip up the Grossglockner on the Tuesday. Was so impressed, the next day I hired a GS650 from the local BM dealer, sent SWMBO to Zell Am See for the day, and spent 8 hours trashing up and down the pass.

Absolutely great fun.

Must get back with my own bike and do more of the area.
