Hi to all,

as the weather during my last holidayweek was fine, i decided to circle one of the northernmost cornerstones of the Alps in the upperbavarian countryside with my 50cc ET2.

the track in google maps:

At Penzberg you are fairly close to the Alps. In the center of the picture the "benedict's wall" (Benediktenwand)

We are heading forward to climb into the small saddle in the middle left of the picture.

The Kesselbergstrasse is famous among motorcyclists. In fact on the 50cc it's real fun. It is not to steep, that you nearly loose no speed, buut winding to really hang on.

On top you can see the "Lake Kochel" (Kochelsee) to the north:

And the "Lake Walchen" (Walschensee) to the south.

Very nice pictures!
Keep that 50cc Roller rolling !

My 50 Special originally comes from the Stuttgart area. Still 150 miles away, but it might have been close to the locations depicted above.

Bavaria
Beautiful scenery, immaculate Tarmac. Hopefully no foot to the floor Porsches, and fine Bavarian beer and wurst afterwards. What's not to like? Gass silver machine Gts 250

Bavaria
I have been in Munich several times but never visited the countryside. Wonderful pics. If it weren't for the architecture I would say, it almost looks like British Columbia. Got more?

That definitely is gorgeous! I'm envious... I would love to ride a Vespa through Europe someday. That's definitely on my list. Thank you for sharing!
