Ketvrin,

too late for this year, I guess.
But there are all kinds of POI (TomTom and other) data on
http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC...

Including campings, and for once it is easy: camping is camping (pronounced franglais of course).

mvg Boudewijn

Did you see Golfinger's roller parked on one of those bends towards the bottom? It does look suitably Bond villainish but good for the Tiv so when are you going again??

This was the view after about 10 miles of climbing a similarly twisty road and then the road down to Italy from the far side of this picture was as good again - I would spend my life driving back and forth on this road in the Tiv... Nirvana wink

K,

That looks the business driving

I'm compiling a list of "must do" roads for a future Euro Road Trip (in the S wink ). Where is the road you have pictured, what's it's number etc etc....?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Looks like a good venue for S Club 2009 to me biggrin

We discovered some great roads like that in May - over in Italy just up the mountain from Lake Como. Some long tunnels too smile. We didn't venture over to Switzerland though.

Your both mistaken - SCH09 will be at the far more conveniently located Nurburgring drivingwink

Hi Ian

Its the "6" from Interlaken over the Furkapass (honest ! and its a long Furka too hehe ) and over to Hospental.

see multimap for the general area... there were plenty of options/alternatives that looked just as good...

http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=interlaken&co...

I reckon we should have SCH09 in the hotel at the bottom of this pass ...
