We were on our way back from Braunlage to Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the early afternoon when the wonderful sunshine, despite the forecast for rain, forced us to stop at the Oderteich car park.

At first it was just a small side note that we noticed during a conversation with the local hiking guide Ömer over Sunday tea.

The motorcyclists have a large fan base, and it is clear that people would like to take their beloved bike with them on holiday. Of course, at this point the objection immediately arises, at least in part justified, that a motorcycle holiday is only really “real” if the journey itself is made from start to finish with the motorcycle and the associated luggage on the bike.
