I have heard the Schwarzwald-Hochstraße is a famous and challenging road. starts at like 250m and ends up near 1100 meters! Nice round abouts going up the mountain passes.

I have always wanted to drive the old Glockner Pass (Großglockner Hochalpenstraße) thru the Alps (Germany/Austrian borders). I have always had a thing for the old Silver Arrow cars and they raced in this area. Ferdinand Porsche also test dorve the first batch of Beetle (KdF wagon) cars on this pass - I believe. Now a days the modern Autobahn takes you around the old mountain passes of yesteryear.

But for me... since I live in Bayern... and really in Franken-land... my first choice to get lost is always in the Frankische Schweiz, right in my very own backyard! This is the area between Nuernberg/Bayreuth/Bamberg. basically also the Bier (Beer) Capital of the world bc we have so many Breweries in this area. You can look that up in the Guniess Book of Records! lol
