I have seen an increase in the number of people asking about European road trips this last week & thought it would be a good idea if there was one central thread with links to write ups of peoples trips. I remember when I was researching for my trip it was hard to find a good write up & then I would always forget to bookmark it paperbag

So here are a few links to get us started:

Loved reading about all the hire car adventures, very tempted to do something similar.

Anyway, here is another good well detailed writeup that I have just found of a group of 911's on a Euro road trip

Hi Johnboy, looks like a very good trip that you have planned.

As for scenic routes back From Italy, I am happy to share the route that I took on the way back from my trip.

I see that you are interested in the Italian Lakes, I stayed at Garda for a couple of days, me & the wife really loved it there.
After Garda, I headed to Davos, this was via the infamous Stelvio Pass.
Then it was from Davos to Andermatt via the San Bernadino Pass, we also did the Furka & Grimsel passes the same day.
Then it was Andermatt to Baden Baden in Germany. We stopped off at Lucerne which is a lovely town, then we drove through the Black Forrest, the route we took was Wehr to Todmoos to Todtnau to Oppenau to Ruhestein and finally to Baden Baden.
From Baden to Baden we drove to the Nurburgring.
The final day was Nurburgring to home.

I hope that is of some help to you.
