And another one, I mentioned to Mr. Kiwi. on the way down from Stelvio westward towards Bormio, take the right turn into Switzerland and carefully down a part gravel road, to this lovely hostel, to enjoy the view of Ste Maria Val Mustair. This is the Umbrail Pass from the Swiss side of the border.
The coffee stop reminds of a recent post but I can't recall the place; it's up there somewhere.

Cheating again. These are from the 'Goodbye' tour 2011, on the Purple Pan.
 Going through the Pyrenees I recommend a stop at his bike friendly hostel, noted a well prepared Harley in the park.
 Then onward and upward to the Pic Maia in Andorra , shunning the tunnel, and over and down to Foix, on the Toulouse road, (stop for sausages) France.

Hello, it is not exactly the pass but it is very hard road with big displacement 14 km from down to top 1700 m, it is the highest place where I was been with Varadero, the highest dam on Balkan Peninsula called "Kalin" 2394 m. It is situated in Rila mountain, about 100 km south from Sofia. Dam Kalin is connected by a vertical shaft and tunnel to dam "Karagyol", located nearby, thus forming two "communicating vessels".

On the Road:







This part of the road called "hairpin".





The road:



The view:





Kalin dam:



Karagyol dam:

@ Tonyco. "Hello, it is not exactly the pass but it is very hard road with big displacement 14 km from down to top 1700 m, it is the highest place "

Is not exactly the road either looking at the surface!

OOO yes it was road from concrete in 1943 :). It was made for heavy trucks to go up building the dams. You can see what is left now from 1943.  It was very hard to go up there with Varadero, I sweat a lot on 8 degrees Celsius.

Switzerland looks drier than usual, doesn't it?

Congratulations for your ride!

@Miene dicke
Very fortunate with the weather Rainer. I haven't seen your bike before; silver panniers look good on the black bike.
