Interesting Tour Idea
Discussion
A few years ago I did the following in an old Merc 190e - awesome route chaps....
CzechWrecks Route Overview
CzechWrecks Day 1 Route
The warm up is the run down to the beautiful town of Interlaken, Switzerland.
Interlaken rests among beautiful lakes and mountains, a strikingly different end to a day of French motorways.
This is a long run of around 520 miles, so don't hang around.
The challenge may well be an observation challenge so that you don't stop too much.
The key is to get to the end of the day in decent time. But remember! It's not a race, it's a rally! There are no points for getting anywhere first.
CzechWrecks Day 2 Route
Today you get to see Switzerland, heading over Simplon Pass. The day will be very hard going on the cars. On a scale of 1 out of 10 (10 being the hardest) this day will be 7. Plan accordingly.
This is a long day, so again don't hang around. Repairs need to be quick.
Brakes and clutches are important during this day. The passes are unforgiving and you certainly don't want brake failure. If you car is having trouble on this day then you will have serious problems on Day 3.
The evening is in Bormio in Italy just below Stelvio.
CzechWrecks Day 3 Route
Today you get to climb over the one and only Stelvio Pass.
This is very hard on your car. We are talking 10/10 on the difficulty scale.
The east side of Stelvio will be very hard on the brakes.
If you are having any problems at this point consult with the organisers to find an alternate route.
There is an added treat as we continue on past the submerged town of Reiser and then on into Austria for a stopover outside Salzberg, yet another beautiful old city where almost everything is named after dead composers.
CzechWrecks Day 4 Route - PROBABLY THE WEAKEST DAY OF ALL
This is an easy day as far as driving is concerned. We take the back roads of Bohemia into Prague. The drive is slow and steady through old towns.
Oooooold towns.
The roads prove interesting. Definitely different. Hey! Different can be good. Test your driving and decision making skills when your options become dodging the strolling chicken or dodging the world's most amazing potholes.
The day shouldn't be too long, so you should be able to get into Prague in reasonable time. However, don't hang around if you can avoid it!
The end is in sight. Your car should be happy. And we bet you will be too!
