ReconRat Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've been to Austria and Bavarian Germany in the South. I liked it a lot. Yes, the Alps would be very nice indeed. Have been to Innsbruck also. There was one place in the mountains, that had a Swiss border crossing near by. You could hike up there and get your passport stamped for fun. Apparently not many people cross there, and they didn't have much else to do. Innsbruck is a "rite of passage" destination for high school kids all over the area (multiple countries). At any time of the Summer, the place is packed with kids arriving by train for a holiday. It wasn't bad though. Just all these clueless kids all over the place.

ReconRat Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Make sure you're sharing a room with a fellow traveler. Euro hotels have a habit of adding another person if you're alone. Unless you pay extra to have the room to yourself. edit: And for what it's worth, the food in Austria was fantastic. Especially desserts and pasteries. Edited February 27, 2014 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Well that's much closer than austria... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Doesn't look as fast or as fun as the one in Austria. It kind of reminds me of the beast, but I haven't ridden the beast in the last 25 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj 88 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 The first one looks way beter! Maybe it's the lack of safety nets and the singel rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 $2k plus for a bike trip plus air fair? I think the taxes and tips are on top of that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never touched the brakes on the way down in that video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
