Our motorcycle journey continued with even more excitement and picturesque views. We embarked on a beautiful ride, firstly from Brochenzell in Germany to Lake Constance, and then on to the Alpine town of Davos in Switzerland before reaching the day’s grand finale at the magnificent Stelvio Pass. Writing this blog, as the sun sets, and we settle down in Stelvio with beers and pizza, its time to savour every moment of today’s adventure and take in the stunning view from our apartment.

We kicked off the day in Brochenzell, a charming village in Germany with a picturesque setting. Leaving our Air B&B, we hit the road to make our way down to our next stop, the stunning Lake Constance, a serene freshwater lake shared by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Fed by the River Rhine, Lake Constance, also known as Bodensee, is one of Europe’s largest lakes. It spans approximately 536 square kilometers, and is 14 kilometers across at its widest point. With a maximum depth of 254 meters, it ranks among the deepest lakes in the region.

As we approach the lakeside, we were greeted by the sight of shimmering waters and distant mountains, so we took a moment to relax by the lakeshore with a coffee and Apple strudel (the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast).

Fuelled with some food, we leave the serenity of Lake Constance behind and make our way to the Alpine gem of Davos, Switzerland. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and charming alpine architecture. Davos is a mecca for winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. It’s also famous for hosting the World Economic Forum, which brings together business leaders, politicians, and journalists once a year to discuss current global economic and social challenges.

I was too good a opportunity to miss, so I got the drone out and captured a bit of footage around the Lake at Davos for my YouTube Vlog.

Bidding farewell to Davos twice, as Gaz got us lost leaving the town as his Sat Nav lost signal apparently 😄, we finally got back on track to embark on our journey to Stelvio Pass.

---

Nestled in the heart of the Italian Alps, the Stelvio Pass is renowned for its unparalleled natural beauty. You are greeted by views of snow-capped peaks, lush green valleys, and winding roads that seem to defy gravity.

---

As well as being a great biking road, the pass boasts a rich history dating back centuries. Originally built by the Austrian Empire in the early 19th century, the pass has played a significant role in trade and communication between Italy and Austria.

It is famous for its series of 48 hairpin bends that can test the skills and nerves of even the most experienced bikers, as well as the clutch and brakes of your motorcycle. Negotiating these tight curves requires a real focus, as the road climbs over 2,700 meters (8,900 feet) above sea level.

---

We rode the pass both up and down, before arriving in the small town of Stelvio itself, where we settled into our cozy apartment. Luckily there is a bar next door and a Pizza vending machine as all the restaurants were closed.

---

So with beers in hand and hot, freshly-made vending machine pizzas, we savor the satisfaction of completing this unforgettable journey. The camaraderie among fellow riders and the breathtaking view from our apartment’s balcony will make it a day to remember.

Conclusion:
From the scenic landscapes of Brochenzell in Germany to the tranquility of Lake Constance, the Alpine wonders of Davos, and the exhilarating triumph of conquering Stelvio Pass in Italy, our fourth day of this motorcycle tour provided an exhilarating ride and more unforgettable memories.

The route to today was fantastic but I can only say that if you are an adrenaline-seeking motorcycle enthusiasts, there are few experiences or roads as thrilling and awe-inspiring as riding the Stelvio Pass.
