This year my European trip is into Central Austria, pretty much bang in the middle - South of Linz, North of Villach and West of Graz. I’ve never been to Austria before and always heard good things about it. My aim/hope is i can do a few day trips out and cross the borders into Slovenia, Hungary And Czech to add a few more places to the list.
Day 1 was a very straight forward 500 mile motorway hack from Home to just outside of Frankfurt to stay at Burgstadt CampingPark.
There is a Hotel on site, and a Greek restaurant too.
The grounds for Camping is all hardcore - so if Camping you’ll definitely need a groundsheet to protect the underside. If you’re Motorhoming/Caravanning you’ll be fine. Each pitch has an Electric hook up and water available, which is a nice Bonus.
Day 2 was moving onto the more scenic roads to head South to stay just outside of Munich at Campingplatz Landsberg. There was also a restaurant onsite here too, which did a good array of food (looking at the menu). This place for some reason attracted a lot of high end Caravans, Motorhomes & Cars (Super Cars, Rare Classic Cars etc). Maybe i was there the same time as the yearly Mobsters holiday. Who knows.
I was dubious about this part of the journey due to all the bad weather in the area recently. However the journey there was dry, and none of the roadds of routes locally appeared to be affected - although you could see the Rivers were at a higher than normal level.
That night there was Rain from 7pm until i left about 8am the next morning. It ranged from light drizzle to full on torrential rain, and multiple thunderstorms.
Thankfully the campsite field was built well as the field did not flood, and there was only a few puddles around.
Day 3 was the final travel day from Munich across to my final destination in Austria for 5 days. Again, on the more scenic routes for most of the travel.
Heading across into Austria, it very much looks like Switzerlan>Italy transition with high mountain tops, mountain ranges and multiple tunnels & routes through the Mountains/hills. Austria itself is a very green Country with endless rolling hills as far as the eye can see.
I found a great riding section, and a new favourite road in the B307>RO52. Endless corners, scenery & technical riding.
Day 4, today. A much needed rest day after 1100 miles the last 3 days. Sorting out my camping gear to dry it out, get some washing done, shop for some food & plan what to do the rest of the week.
