• In GERMANY you should stay at TRIER (oldest city in Germany) for a longer visit.

  Believe me it´s worth, I lived nearby !!!
  
  Then you should ride along the river Mosel to KOBLENZ, don´t use any highway. Just follow the Mosel on the Bundesstrasse.
  
  At KOBLENZ (I lived as well here), where the river Mosel meets the river RHEIN it´s worth visting the Deutsches Eck (German Corner) and the fortess "Festung Ehrenbreitstein" at the other side of the river Rhein, which was the fortress-sign against Napoleon saying not further on here at the Rhein is the border.

  Then go along the B 413 to HACHENBURG, follow the L 288 to SIEGEN; B 62 to BAD BERLEBURG and then to WINTERBERG.
  
  In this area I did a lot of tours. So I can say you will enjoy it, if you offer the time needed.

• Between Trier and Koblenz, near Cochem, I remember taking a pic of "Europe's steepest vineyard" 
  Not "World's best wine vineyard", which must be undoubtedly within 50 km from my home. 
  
  See you,

• Joseph,
  
  It is not that bad... We have about 800 km and two nights I assume.
  
  Return will be done with one night stop only.
