The Deutsche Alpenstraße

Germany/Austria • Start: Lindau • Finish: Berchtesgaden • Distance: 235 miles • Riding time: 6.5 hours • The Deutsche Alpenstraße - the DAS - skips through the mountains of the Tyrol, hopping back and forth across the border between Austria and Germany. A relaxed, scenic ride - a great introduction to mountain riding and a brilliant trip for two, though there's not much time for sightseeing if doing it in a single day.
