<\/a><\/p>\nMotorcyclists, sports car enthusiasts, and anyone craving an adrenaline rush with a mountain backdrop (emphasis on drop!) should consider driving Austria\u2019s Grossglockner High Alpine Road<\/a>. Spread across three provinces through Austria\u2019s biggest national park, this 30-mile route with 36 turns is the highest surfaced mountain pass road in Austria. Top elevation of the road is more than 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) with even taller peaks in view much of the way.<\/p>\n Launched in 2015, the\u00a0Grand Tour of Switzerland is a 1,000-mile self-driving route to the \u201cmust-see\u201d sights and attractions across the country\u2019s four language regions and along its most scenic roads. The route takes in five Alpine passes, 22 lakes, and 11 UNESCO World Heritage Sites while steering clear of motorways wherever possible in preference of country roads and rural byways.<\/p>\n The south of France is gorgeous, especially the Verdon Gorge Circuit in Provence. This 115-mile chateau-dotted route takes you through vineyards and charming villages and along the 2,300 feet (700-meter) deep Grand Canyon of Europe. There\u2019s plenty for outdoor lovers to do in the Verdon Gorge area with some of France\u2019s best hiking, kayaking, and bird watching. The historic cities of Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Cannes, and Nice and the beautiful Cote d\u2019Azur are all within a reasonable distance of the gorge.<\/p>\n Germany\u2019s Autobanh is legendary for not having speed limits. In reality, only a few stretches of the country\u2019s 8,000-mile highway system (similar to America\u2019s interstate system) has no speed limit, where the rest of the route has an 80 mile-per-hour (130-kilometer) speed limit. And in the home of Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche the appeal is self-evident to car fiends. The 185-mile A24 between Hamburg and Berlin is one of the best bits of road to floor it. Just keep in mind where there are speed limits, they are strictly enforced!<\/p>\n You may also enjoy: Best Islands Around the World for Road Trips<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n For an otherworldly driving experience, there\u2019s Iceland\u2019s eerily serene Route 1. The 830-mile national highway circles the island and offers drivers the chance to take in much of this arctic country\u2019s stunning landscape and dramatic coastline. The entire road can be driven in less than 24-hours, but the idea is to slow down and enjoy the ride. Itineraries of more than two weeks can still leave visitors wishing they\u2019d had more time. Road conditions in the winter are usually good but the odd snowstorm can shut off parts of Route 1 for a day or two.<\/p>\n The Emerald Isle\u2019s Ring of Kerry does a 110-mile circle around the Iveragh peninsula. Friendly little fishing villages, epic ocean vistas, and plenty of rolling hills and bucolic scenery ensure there\u2019s always eye candy splendor for road trips<\/a>. Star Wars<\/em> fans will love catching a glimpse of the Skellig Islands (as seen in the most recent films as the hideaway home of Luke Skywalker) or even planning a boat ride out to them.<\/p>\nSwitzerland<\/h2>\n
