The route starts off easy: while your engine warms up for the real work, you leave the inhabited world behind you. Once you cross the border into Belgium, the landscape starts to change. Green hills, dense forests and now and then an open plain with a view of the valleys. This is the perfect warm-up before the party really starts: the Ardennes and the Eifel.

If you are a motorsports fan, you should stop here at the Francorchamps circuit. No racing, but a look at this legendary asphalt where Formula 1 cars and motorcycles test their limits.
You can get a guided tour with an expert guide on a few days a year, who will give you a look behind the scenes. You can also drive a lap around the circuit yourself on some days a year, but of course that comes with a price tag. The guided tour was €15 per person in 2025 and one lap around the circuit will cost you €135.

As soon as you enter Germany, the asphalt changes. The roads become narrower, the bends sharper and the landscape rougher. This is where you really get a feel for what motorcycling is: the perfect combination of speed, control and enjoying the surroundings.
The first stop in Germany is Schlossheck, a small village you drive through on your way to the historic town of Schönecken. There you feel like you are back in the Middle Ages, with old buildings and a friendly atmosphere. Not much later, the first castle ruin appears: Burg Seinsfeld, a sturdy fortress that once protected the region.

Further south, you pass through picturesque villages and the road winds along rolling fields and forests. In Bruch, there is another imposing castle: Burg Bruch, which still looks impressive with its thick walls and towers. This is a perfect place to take a short break and soak up the atmosphere of the region.

From Salmtal the landscape becomes more open and after a few wonderful kilometres you reach the Mosel valley. This is motorcycling at its best: wide bends, beautiful views and roads that invite you to give that little bit of extra gas.

Along the river you will pass through charming wine towns, to finally arrive in Bernkastel-Kues, one of the most beautiful towns on the Moselle. This town, with its half-timbered houses and winding streets, is perfect for a longer stop. Here you can enjoy a cup of coffee or, if you don't have to drive anymore, a good glass of Moselle wine. Above the town towers Burg Landshut, an old castle with a panoramic view over the river. To enjoy that view, park your bike in the parking lot and walk a short distance.
After Bernkastel-Kues the route continues into the hills and you feel how the road becomes more and more challenging. The route ends in Hoxel, in the middle of the nature of the Hunsrück.

Why you should drive this route
From motorway to winding mountain roads, this route has it all. Especially in the Eifel and around the Mosel you will encounter fantastic hairpin bends. Along medieval castles, historic towns, beautiful nature, rivers and vineyards, you will be amazed.

The route includes a number of places for a drink and a bite to eat for yourself and your motorbike, are you obliged to stop here? No, of course you can also determine your own stops.
You end the route at the hotel reception and enjoy a snack and a drink while reflecting on today's route.
