Itinerary suggestions for a June 2018 loop route from Hull UK to Rotterdam and then Nurburgring and on to Swiss Alps/passes and then back to Rotterdam for the ferry back to Hull: best driving route for my TVR? Better to stay on German roads versus France roadways?
Looking for reasonable distances daily with focus on fun driving roads versus speed / distance covered. I have 10 or so days so can take my time with good overnights and stops along the way at reasonable hotel costs. I've got Michelin paper maps and a Garmin GPS as well as google maps on my android phone for mapping purposes. Tips?
Thanks in advance for any route advice!

Download this to create your map: https://www.motogoloco.com/map/

Download Tyre to Travel to transfer it to your Garmin.

That way you can create your own bespoke routes.

Down to and through Luxembourg, then across to the B500 in Germany. Ballons des Vosges Natural Regional Park is worth a look as well.

The Mosel valley is spectacular, much better than the Rhine IMHO

Thxs for the mapping tip to use "motoloco"...looks like a great tool and will use!
Driving the 500 roadway is a given !

Other similar roads to drive between Nurburgring and Baden-Baden?

The B500 is heavily trafficked and heavily policed. Why not use the Motogoloco to drive on the "L" roads parallel to the 500. Much better imo.

I travelled the whole B500 from Baden-Baden then onto Basel last month.

Left my hotel around 6am and it was a good 2hrs before I even saw another car, and zero police.
