The south of Bavaria, on the border with Austria, is a beautiful location, with rolling hills and pastures, cows grazing, barns, small woods, and beautiful lakes. The villages are immaculate and charming. The narrow twisting roads are a great fun to ride. The Auerberg Klassik 2022 was held in Berbeuren last September, and was only the third edition of this vintage motorcycle hillclimb meeting.  This year it became Germany’s first motorsport event actively promoting CO2 avoidance with climate-neutral e-fuels.

The relaxed informal mood of the event, coupled with great attention taken to practical details, plus the large number of participants, made this event once more a success. The bikes present were stunning, with a wide variety of styles and a very cosmopolitan rider mix. Sidecar design details were particularly fascinating. Much to our surprise the number of one-star Michelin restaurants in the area (some in truly spectacular locations) was considerable. Of course we had to try several! The winner by far was Dorfwirt in Untterammergau. Don’t miss it if you’re ever nearby.
