The Best Routes

A road trip doesn't always have to be about arriving at your destination. On the road on a scenic route, the journey is the destination. Whether on a mountain or coastal road, on a winding route or a long straight, alone in the car, as a couple or with a group – a drive on a scenic route can become a very special experience.What are scenic routes?
On the road with a view
The best views of the landscape are probably the main argument for traveling on a scenic route. Driving slowly means that the driver can also enjoy the breathtaking landscapes. And it doesn't matter whether you're looking at the mountains or the sea, endless meadows or the desert: scenic roads are everywhere. So get behind the wheel and hit the road.
Of course, you can also get out of the car along the way. Many routes have great viewpoints, rest areas or cultural highlights. Themed routes take you to buildings, museums or tastings. And even if you don't have any special points along your route, you should take regular breaks – especially if you are traveling with children.
Preparation and Luggage
In preparation for your road trip, you should always familiarise yourself with the route. A navigation system with up-to-date maps and a paper map are a must, especially on longer routes. A thorough check of your car is essential: Check the oil, brake fluid, coolant, tyre tread and pressure. The wear marks on the brake pads as well as the wiper rubbers, handbrake and vehicle lights should also be checked. Anything you can't do yourself, a workshop will be happy to do for you.
When it comes to luggage, it depends on the length of your trip. Are you only travelling for a few hours? Or will you be on the road for several days or even weeks? Nutritious and tasty snacks, enough water, blankets and cushions as well as a few games for the back seat (especially with children on board) are certainly never wrong. If you're travelling with a lot of luggage, make sure everything is well stowed and secured.
