Palatinate Motorcycle Tour – Southpfalz Ride

The starting point of this guided Palatinate Alsace motorcycle tour is a hotel near Bad Bergzabern, where you meet the group and your tour guide over a relaxed dinner on the first evening. From here the route heads day by day over well-maintained, winding country roads through the Palatinate Forest – past châteaux, castles and the only motorcycle museum in Germany housed in a former church – all the way into Alsace and the Vosges.
