Travelled across France, Belgium, Germany, Austria & Hungary earlier this year (in the car) and the best roads were surprisingly in Hungary, they've been upgrading all their roads over the last two years...

Hi Chaps,

I found Hungary to be a bit flat?
Quality of tarmac should not be the sole criteria of what is judged to be a good road?
Something like this is more my idea of a good road, taken in the French Alps on the way home from Budapest:
Or this in Italy on the same trip:

yep the alps are lovely all right, but there really was a lot of interesting scenery, villages to go through/look at in Hungary - once you get outside Budapest there's plenty to keep you occupied.

We rode to Hungary last year via; France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia then back up through Slovenia into Hungary then back through Austria, Czech Republic, Germay and France.
I thought Hungary was a a bit boring, but we only rode across the the North East part of the country as we headed for Budapest, so probaby didn't see the best of it.
Slovenia was the biggest surprise of the trip. The scenery and roads up through the Julian Alps were stunning. Typical winding alpine roads lead up to narrow un-made tracks which branch off the roads and are perfect on a big traily. One particular road lead to a cafe at the highest point on a mountain pass above cloud level. We sat outside on a bench drinking coffee while small fluffy clouds drifted below....magic.
It was also a very cheap country to visit. We had a full service and a new rear tyre on the GS for under £200 in Ljubiana at an official BMW dealer.
