Austrian Route

[chevronb37]

Chaps,

My dad and I are in the advanced stages of planning our little jaunt to April's Rechberg Hillclimb in Austria. On the return leg we will be driving from Salzburg to Wolfach in the Black Forest. I've plotted a route which looks fairly rural but not chronically slow past Chiemsee and Lake Constance. I really don't know the area though and any thoughts / guidance on the best way to go would be enormously appreciated. I'll be documenting the trip in full; discussing roads, accommodation, the racing, museums and the many little nuances of an awesome road trip.

Cheers,

Chev.

Oh no! The last thing we need is another awesome museum. At the moment, we have five museums incorporated into a two week trip. Thanks so the tip-off though, we’ll see how time works out.

One of the reasons for the stay at Wolfach is the B500 which, I have it on good authority, is ruddy brilliant.

Thanks very much for the advice. I plotted that route and it looks good. It's a big old day of driving so we might stop a few miles short of Wolfach. We've got an empty day just to cover some miles so 500-odd kms will be a long day but hopefully fun.

As for the Black Forest fascination...well, I've never been before, we need to get back north one way or another and we've tried a few Alpine passes and thought this might be fun :-)
