Motorcycle ride in Bavaria

Roßfeld panoramic road, above Berchtesgaden

30 km (19 miles), 40 min, intermediate

A toll road that climbs above Berchtesgaden to over 1,500 m, along the Austrian border. From the Obersalzberg, the Roßfeld loop offers views of the Hoher Göll, the Watzmann massif and the Salzburg basin, before dropping back down towards Oberau. Short but very twisty.
