Just took a short ride on Sunday from Zagreb through the Slovenian Alps with a little touch of Austria and feeling live again..great video, great music...take care Andy
@@AndyManCam I love yours and can't wait to visit Austria with bike, but I am interested in @maredox route because I am traveling from Zagreb every week and searching for twisties and beautiful landscapes all of our countries have. :) Currently in love with Paklenica -> Karlobag -> Senj route. You must try that, more than 20 km of twisties between the sea and mountains..
@@markobatur9050 I live near Maksimir so I started over Sljeme, Stubica, Kumrovec, border crossing to Slovenia at Razvor, Kozje (Kozjanski park) to Šentjur (great part with nice twisty 30-40km's), Celje, Mozirje (here the real fun start with hills and forests), Logarska dolina, Pavličevo sedlo, (Austria crossing) Eisenkappel, Bleiburg, back to Slovenia, Slovenj Gradec, Velenje, Slovenske Konjice, Rogaška Slatina (crossing Croatia) Hum na Sutli, Krapina and then choose which way you want to go to Zagreb...not to hard, and beautiful 450-480km's...guess I helped 😊
Normally I find these videos help, in a small way, to satisfy my craving to get out on my bike (during lockdown) and similarly with international rides where its not too easy currently. However this one has me itching to get back to the Alps!! So good for the soul to ride the mountains. Love it ... and the video 😁👍
It’s a double edged sword, isn’t it! Either it’ll ease the itch, or it’ll drive you crazy! This is one time where being ‚stuck‘ on the continent was definitely the right place to be.
Superb. Innsbruck was one of our last trips before all the nastiness put the brakes on everything. We both love it and plan to return again. Thanks for the lovely reminder. Happy, safe travels.
I fookin' love Austria. Been there several times. I haven't been since 2017 but it's good to see the roads I've been down again and bring back the memories. Went through Kuhtai (home of the Celebrity maiming reality show 'The Jump') and then onto Obergurgl and Hochgurgl before the Timmelsjoch. Pity the Motor museum burnt down as that's a good stop off point. Great stuff Andy and looking forward to the rest of the series.
Isn't it great that these roads were so hard won from the mountains, that they never really change! Maybe a new surface and some new markings, but the roads remain the same forever! A stop at the museum would have been nice, but being 'forced' to continue through the twisties was also OK! ;D
Andy you have made me proper jealous ! I've been itching to get back to Austria and the Grossglockner, and since our trip there in 2019 ! but the silver lining is there bud, it's coming ! thanks for an awesome vid and putting a hopeful smile on our faces ! stay safe bud !
Nothing like a bit of positive motivation, eh?! I still can't believe that this was my first time aiming for the Big Bellringer! Thanks Andy and see you in the next one!
It must have felt so good to cross the border again after so long! I've never been here so your bringing it to my tv screen was just amazing. Stunning work on the editing once again. Now looking forward to the next episode 👀
Good to see you back Andy, what a fantastic vid, perfect weather, incredible scenery, impeccable riding skills ;-), maybe they'll even let us back in there one day.... Looking forward to the Timmelsjoch, can't say it's my favourite after wobbling down it on my overladen CB1300 persued by implacable Teutons....
Absolutely the best choice! Once you factor in fuel and overnight stays, it's also really not that expensive. Plus 'landing' in the middle of the alps, fresh and rested, is utterly priceless!
Utterly beautiful area Anthony, but a bit of a way away from the Matterhorn. The little Ski resort is called Kühtai, just west of Innsbruck, in Austria.
Many thanks Phil! Yeah, I thought I'd break you guys back into the touring gently with a teaser. It's been a LONG while and I didn't want you all getting too excited after the first session! Have fun down there mate!
You lucky man cam. What cracking scenery and roads. Wish I was fit enough to do the miles to get there. Your vids will ease the pain though. Cheers Andy, look forward to the rest of the series.
@@AndyManCam 😁 13 hours! I might’ve looked where you were I guess. Germany, Austria, they’re right next door…aren’t they 🤔😜. Looks like it was worth the trip though. But envious to be honest.
andy,what a fantastic vid to get us in the bike mood again....for real,and whát a great scenery..this morning i was in doubt of wearing my VR46 t-shirt,or my red "andymancam" shirt..i'm wearing your shirt all day..now i know why!!.
I'll be honest I only heard about you following your appearance on the bru time podcast. I really enjoyed it and found both you and TLR to be great guests so much so I immediately came to your channels and subbed to both and I will enjoy watching any of your new content and going through the older videos as well. Keep up the good work
What a stunning video....You and your motorized camera in the Alps, just beautiful. Camera views, video edit, all excellent! I am a bit jealeous. Not for the trip itself, will go there in two weeks time myself ;-)
@@AndyManCam I did the trip two weeks ago, same conditions! Perfect weather. Started near Augsburg, from there to Achensee, Grossglockner, Dolomites (Sella Ronda), Stelvio, a bit of Switzerland, finally back via Silvretta Pass. 4 days of joy. Thanks for your inspirations!
Beautiful! Wish you a great trip Andy! I thought the first stretch of road seemed oddly familiar, until you made it to the top and pointed out the ski resort - i was there on a school trip with my university class about 5 years ago to visit the TIWAG hydropower plant by the red sign at 4:00 However, it was snowing like i have never seen before, so we couldn't get from there back up to the top and had to limp all the way down the same way you drove.
Andy, please tell me this is only part 1, of a multipart series?! Stunning views, incredible journey. I’d say money well spent on the train ticket, over a new drone purchase. You’re spoiling us with eye-popping cinematography🔝🎬🎥🆒👍🏻
The Man Cam is back on the road, and feeding our vicarious need to be out on the bike in the mountains!!! MANY THANKS Andy for feeding our need with a wonderful video, and by the sound of it, awesome ones to come... LOVE the Timmelsjoch, can't wait! :)
Thanks Jen! I know right! I was as surprised as you were! Especially as from the day I booked the train, to the day I arrived, the forecasts all said that my whole week in the Alps was going to be wet! I think you're right about the drone. The 360 cam can bring the wow moments now instead! Plus it's harder to crash it into trees! :D
I know right! That mishap freed me up to enjoy this trip in a whole different way! Drone flying is cool, for the footage. But jeeez is it stressful!! :D
Very glad to see you back in the Alps, Andy Long time listener, first time caller, from Vic, Australia As we enter our 5th severe C19 lockdown, it's pure escapism to see you carving up them hills. Keep 'em coming, mate
OH mate, it was amaaaazing. S-T-U-N-N-N-I-I-I-N-G-G-G as you famously once said ;) I'd say definitely more of a rival to Switzerland than I fully gave it credit for. I'll be back! (See what I did there?) :D
Got a far as the Dales camping and a few days in Scotland, not the same but still a tonic for my biking soul, hopefully back across the Channel next year😎
Oh those roads….. we have great roads in Australia…. But seriously nothing like that..just spectacular… we are in a COVID hell at the moment, locked down, cant ride more than 10ks from home… can’t see mates…. But I can revel in this brilliant video..thanks Andymancam.
Awesome video awesome scenery. This is exactly how I hope my trip will look in September. I have booked the same train ticket from Hamburg to Innsbruck. Have a nice trip I look forward to watching it for inspiration!
@@AndyManCam Hi again Andy loved your following videos as well. Just wanted to ask since you have experience with finding the right place to board the train in Hamburg. I'm jumping on from "Hamborg Altona" which I guess is the main station in Hamburg but I figure I'm not supposed to get my motorcyle on from the main entrence right? THank you in advance.
Stunning views. Well worth the trip rather than a new drone! Got a Wales trip coming up, then Scotland late Summer once some of the school holiday tourists have gone.
THIS is what being a motorcyclist is all about!! enjoying being out on your steed and taking in the views, not being a street rossi riding at full speed everywhere and trying to get your knee down every corner.
Thanks Andy, I totally agree. It's taken me a while to realise it, but NOT racing from A to B, as fast as possible, makes for a far more enjoyable ride! Plus it doesn't seems to affect the vids badly either! The place is TOO beautiful to waste, trying to scuff a piece of plastic!
@@AndyManCam yeah agreed. i find maintaining a good average speed and being keeping good lines round the corners alot more enjoyable. life is far too short to be showing off.
Stunning! A wise man once said, "If you are lucky enough to live in the mountains, you are lucky enough." By the looks of it, same thing goes for riding through them! The last time I was through the mountains in Alberta and BC was in a rented minivan and the time before that in an SUV towing three tonnes of travel trailer. Er, caravan. The scenery no less stunning for the uninspiring transportation! Riding in the Rockies is not an easy option for me because I live a few thousand km away. Someday! Do bikers in Europe wave to each other like they do in Canada and the USA? Oh, yep, there's one! Special appreciation for "shakier than a shitting dog." Made my morning!
That was a very wise man indeed. I keep trying to convince my mrs of the value in such statements! Keep hoping mate! I'd love to see the Rockies one day too TBH!
Wow Andy in his element..'what kind of a bafoon do you take me for' 😂 One can tell by the humour back in his tone. What fabulous stuff. Screw the drone. Looking that stunning trip!! The only main stream TH-camr besides Norally that grabbed their balls, upped, and did something. Fab stuff Andy, you bloody deserved this vacation
Huge thanks Dave. I'm really glad that that is how it seems. I really was like a pig in Sh... and the spark that's been missing was definitely back with a vengeance!
Thanks TM. It's such a flexible tool! I'm still getting used to the fact that you can literally 'point' the camera anywhere you want, at any time! A cameraman on my handlebars!
@@AndyManCam I just picked one up and gave it a try. The workflow is kind of clunky, but there are definitely some interesting use cases it can address. Next time I do a group ride and stop off to eat somewhere, I'll put it in the middle of the table and thus capture everyone in the group.
Yeah absolutely. The extra processing needed is a bit of a pain. I add an extra step and do the 'reframing' inside Davinci resolve with a plug in. Adds even more time to the edit, but the results are much smoother and more natural looking. But the fact that aiming the camera or worrying about what's in frame is a thing of the past, is a real win!
That puts a huge gra on ya to get away, 2nd year in a row i haven't gotten to Europe. Next year i will surely make up for it....Although touring around Ireland does soften the blow a litte... Once again another super video..
Always jealous of bikes and classic cars going past on trains when on holiday in the Rhine valley with the family. Never knew where to find where you can go from/to.
Absolutely! I'd have had to get new tyres (and throw away several thousand km's of perfectly good rubber) and a second service before this trip, if it weren't for the train.
Wunderbar! I've been wearing out the TH-cam binaries watching and rewatching your previous tours all this time so it'll be good to have some fresh material to add into the mix.
Rubbish! Leaving the trip behind is bad enough, but when some idiot posts that his is still ongoing, even worse! 'lucky' for you, I'm at home in my flat landed hell, editing videos in a 30 degree flat now! Let me back OUT there!!
Absolutely. A real treat for the eyes! Maybe there'll be another drone on the team, once the funds allow. It's always going to be hard to justify another gadget over the ride itself though! Luckily the 360 cam can do it's best to fill the shoes with the wow moments until then!
And people live there, I'd ring in sick every day the sun was out (don't think work would figure it out lol). Stunning, just stunning but will have to make do with Scotland again this year. Roll on sunday (18/7), two weeks of just me and the bike...
I REALLY didn't! Although I was a bit 'disappointed' that I didn't really get to test out the Oxford Mondial Jacket in the wet! I haven't made a review on the panniers yet. I've decided that with ALL products given to me, real life use is more important than me just highlighting the features before I've tried them out! I think I'll do a gear round up from this tour once the full series is edited.
Me too mate! A very welcome escape! I think I've already used shed loads more footage from the Insta360 than I ever did from the drone! :D Plus the roadside setup time is vastly reduced!
Wicked Roads! Yes I do find having cameras is a pain, worst is when you get home, sound or angle is shite. Anyway its winter here in Australia so not that many fine riding days.
Tell me about it!! Sadly I've had my share of retrospectively discovered cock ups on this trip too! Lessons learned though! Hope things are back to 'normal' by the time your spring arrives DoT!
Going over all your video's ( again 😉) because it's been shitting down with rain for the past 4 months here in Belgium 🥴. Coming across this video again,and i was wondering if you can give me the name of the song that starts around 11.20 min? Love that beat,and also your video's, they keep my spirit's lifted.thanks ❤
Beautiful countryside, so many bikes. A pleasure to watch, absolutely smashing !
Many thanks for posting and keep ‘em coming 👍………
Cheers Andrew! It was amazing that the roads seemed almost to be reserved for bikers! I don't think I will EVER see those roads like that again.
Oh Andy, Andy, Andy! That was stunning, mate! Cannot wait to leave our little island for some of that foreign goodness! :-)
Cheers RV! Mate, it was the best medicine! Exactly what I needed and not a moment too soon!
I agree ... the train ticket over the drone. What stunning scenery and great roads! 💓📷 🏍💕
All day, every day! Gadgets are cool, but the chance to get back out there after the year(s) we've had was priceless!
What can I say, envious, impressed, awestruck & uplifted. Great scenery & quality vid again, keep them coming.
Thanks mate. The amazing scenery certainly helped!
Just took a short ride on Sunday from Zagreb through the Slovenian Alps with a little touch of Austria and feeling live again..great video, great music...take care Andy

Great to see you back in the saddle again. Another adventure ….. you’re just missing the rain clouds. 🤣
It was fabulous to be back in the saddle! I honestly didn't miss the rain though, despite it having been forecast for the WHOLE trip!
Stunning views 😍 and excellent production as usual Andy 👍🏼
Many thanks indeed Tom! These type of videos are a real joy to record and produce!
That is a stunning scenery. I have to take my bike there. Hoepfull when covid restrictions are lifted. Awesome video. Love the music.

You are altogether too kind! Thanks very much Stuart! 🤗
Stunning video. Would take that view over a drone any day.
Cheers mate! I have to admit that it did simplify the packing a little! No drone, no controller, no batteries, no charger....
I second that 👍🏽
Cheers Carl!
Great views great vid loads of bikes you must be in paradise 😜👍
It really was like my idea of biker heaven! Mostly because there were no tour buses!
Good to see you back Andy👍
Cheers! Good to be back!
Brings back happy memories for me when I used to work and live in Bavaria (for 10 years).
I can only imagine! If I lived in Bavaria, I'd be over the border every other day!
bucket list updated, absolutely stunning
It's very deserving of a place, but it's going to get a lot more deserving when you see the rest!
Feeling pretty jealous watching that! As usual really well put together video, amazing roads and views, looking forward to the next part.
Many thanks indeed CR. Next one should be along soon!

Outstanding and inspirational. thank you
Thank you kindly Mick!
Absolutely stunning scenery 😳 living the dream mate I can only dream of riding this 😢 Enjoy Andy 👍
It was stunning Chris. Made even more so by that incredible weather yet still with snow all over the place! Heaven!

Thanks OCP! I wish the same! If it weren't for the train, it would take me at least a week to get down there without an achy back and a sore arse! :D
Great stuff, Andy. What a dream to have those places a train ride away. I'll be looking for part 2. Cheers.
A 13 hour train ride away! But still, I agree! If the tickets were half the price, I'd be down there once a month throughout the summer!!

THIS is what being a motorcyclist is all about!! enjoying being out on your steed and taking in the views, not being a street rossi riding at full speed everywhere and trying to get your knee down every corner.
Thanks Andy, I totally agree. It's taken me a while to realise it, but NOT racing from A to B, as fast as possible, makes for a far more enjoyable ride! Plus it doesn't seems to affect the vids badly either! The place is TOO beautiful to waste, trying to scuff a piece of plastic!
@@AndyManCam yeah agreed. i find maintaining a good average speed and being keeping good lines round the corners alot more enjoyable. life is far too short to be showing off.
Absolutely. Anybody can go fast in a straight line!
thumbs up before watching the video - taking the autozug with the bike? never thought of that! thanks! I am sooo jealous ...
It's a revelation! No sore arse, no squared off tyres, no slack chain. Just wake up, ride off and go!
Stunning!
A wise man once said, "If you are lucky enough to live in the mountains, you are lucky enough." By the looks of it, same thing goes for riding through them!
The last time I was through the mountains in Alberta and BC was in a rented minivan and the time before that in an SUV towing three tonnes of travel trailer. Er, caravan. The scenery no less stunning for the uninspiring transportation! Riding in the Rockies is not an easy option for me because I live a few thousand km away. Someday!
Do bikers in Europe wave to each other like they do in Canada and the USA? Oh, yep, there's one!
Special appreciation for "shakier than a shitting dog." Made my morning!
That was a very wise man indeed. I keep trying to convince my mrs of the value in such statements! Keep hoping mate! I'd love to see the Rockies one day too TBH!
damn i'm gonna go there, too! stunning!
You should. Utterly beautiful!
You lucky man absolutely stunning 👍
Cheers Tony! The luckiest indeed. No rain, unbelievable!
Looks stunning. 👍🏻
It really is! Just want to go back again now!
Wow Andy in his element..'what kind of a bafoon do you take me for' 😂 One can tell by the humour back in his tone. What fabulous stuff. Screw the drone. Looking that stunning trip!! The only main stream TH-camr besides Norally that grabbed their balls, upped, and did something. Fab stuff Andy, you bloody deserved this vacation
Huge thanks Dave. I'm really glad that that is how it seems. I really was like a pig in Sh... and the spark that's been missing was definitely back with a vengeance!
@@AndyManCam can't wait to see the rest. U take care out there. Lost a great TH-camr yesterday.
Will do mate. Yeah, terrible news.
I'm looking forward to the sequel, continue to have a good trip and have fun.👍
Coming right up!...
I'm impressed with some of the shots you got with that Insta360, especially the one going through the tunnel near the end.
Thanks TM. It's such a flexible tool! I'm still getting used to the fact that you can literally 'point' the camera anywhere you want, at any time! A cameraman on my handlebars!
@@AndyManCam I just picked one up and gave it a try. The workflow is kind of clunky, but there are definitely some interesting use cases it can address. Next time I do a group ride and stop off to eat somewhere, I'll put it in the middle of the table and thus capture everyone in the group.
Yeah absolutely. The extra processing needed is a bit of a pain. I add an extra step and do the 'reframing' inside Davinci resolve with a plug in. Adds even more time to the edit, but the results are much smoother and more natural looking. But the fact that aiming the camera or worrying about what's in frame is a thing of the past, is a real win!
@@AndyManCam I'm using Insta360 Studio and then Premiere Pro, but I imagine the process is similar.
I would imagine so 👍🏻
How amazing are those views! 👌
They are quite amazing! Of course times it by 10 and you get how amazing they are through the eyes instead of the lens!
Awsome.
just bloody awsome.
Thanks Dan! I think it's safe to say that this is the tame warm up to what is yet to come!
Money well spent. Mountains is way more important then drones
I totally agree mate. I'm realising as I get older that experiences are more important than gadgets. Though experiences with cool gadgets....
respect andy,what a lift i got watching your video,
Very happy to hear it mate! Cheers!
That puts a huge gra on ya to get away, 2nd year in a row i haven't gotten to Europe. Next year i will surely make up for it....Although touring around Ireland does soften the blow a litte... Once again another super video..
It really does. It's a salve for the soul! Even more so when it's this empty and warm once you get there! Cheers Mick!
Always jealous of bikes and classic cars going past on trains when on holiday in the Rhine valley with the family. Never knew where to find where you can go from/to.
There are several routes I think. You can see them all at www.nightjet.com/en/
@@AndyManCam brilliant thanks. Looks a better option than fuel and a squared off rear tyre.
Absolutely! I'd have had to get new tyres (and throw away several thousand km's of perfectly good rubber) and a second service before this trip, if it weren't for the train.
Looks amazing! Wish I was there 😎👍
I totally agree, I wish I was back there too!
AMC back with a bang, love it! Those roads and those views :o Amazing!
Cheers Mike! Had a lot of footage to work with, and that scenery was kinda OK too! ;D
Beautifull scenery thanks for the video Andy, any change you can share the route or even general whereabouts? ;-)
Thanks Leo! This one is easy. I rode from Innsbruck to Kühtai. Then I headed south on the only road available to Sölden. :D
stunning!!!😍 Another trip on my list. Austria reminds me of Canada, also a trip i want to make on a bike. Thanks for the video 👍🏻👌🏻.
And Canada is on my list! ;D My pleasure mate! On to the next episode!...
You're a lucky bugger my friend, bravo!👍😜
Fortune favours the brave mate! That said, yeah I'm proper lucky that it all actually came together!
Amazing journey, fantastic roads and scenery, loved this, "shaking like a shitting dog" pissed myself laughing.......................
Cheers mate! We'Rte just getting started! ;)
Fantastic Andy, got to be said that nobody makes videos quite like you. Looking forward to the next 👍👍
Kindest of thanks Ian! The next one is almost ready! :D
Wunderbar! I've been wearing out the TH-cam binaries watching and rewatching your previous tours all this time so it'll be good to have some fresh material to add into the mix.
Ausgezeichnet! I'll do my best to get them churned out ASAP!
Been looking for this one, awesome 😍👌
Glad you like it! I was really looking forward to it too!
Stunning andy 👍🏻
Cheers Simon. I agree, the set designers in Austria really know their business!
Beautiful scener, keep them coming, be safe 🙏🏽✌🏾
Cheers Carl, will do mate!
Lucky you, today I had to leave The Wee Campsite and head to Fort William on the A82. Now at (Cumbria) Keswick,watching AMC in my tent.Life sucks.
Rubbish! Leaving the trip behind is bad enough, but when some idiot posts that his is still ongoing, even worse! 'lucky' for you, I'm at home in my flat landed hell, editing videos in a 30 degree flat now! Let me back OUT there!!
That is spectacular scenery, shame about the drone as I like that perspective of the surrounds. Looking forward to part 2.
Absolutely. A real treat for the eyes! Maybe there'll be another drone on the team, once the funds allow. It's always going to be hard to justify another gadget over the ride itself though! Luckily the 360 cam can do it's best to fill the shoes with the wow moments until then!
And people live there, I'd ring in sick every day the sun was out (don't think work would figure it out lol). Stunning, just stunning but will have to make do with Scotland again this year. Roll on sunday (18/7), two weeks of just me and the bike...
I know right! I'd have been fired from every job after the first week! Fingers crossed for 'good' weather Mark!
@@AndyManCam apparently a heat wave is due to hit Scotland starting this weekend, there's talk of the mercury 20 !!
Holy bonkers! That’s the stuff of Legend! Enjoy!!
I am very lucky to live in Salzburg. It's a nice corner of the world all right 😁
Stunning, had the place pretty much to yourself 👊
I know right! The traffic levels (mostly) stunned me throughout the whole trip! Seems not many people knew or were brave enough to give it a go!
I almost shed a tear whenever I see an Andy man cam vid pop up in my feed
Hahaha! VERY happy to hear that SC. Long may that response continue! Xx
@@AndyManCam forever and always
:D
Wow what stunning views. Did you miss the lack of rain??
Also I see you used the SWMotech legend gear panniers. Have I missed you review on these??
I REALLY didn't! Although I was a bit 'disappointed' that I didn't really get to test out the Oxford Mondial Jacket in the wet! I haven't made a review on the panniers yet. I've decided that with ALL products given to me, real life use is more important than me just highlighting the features before I've tried them out! I think I'll do a gear round up from this tour once the full series is edited.
So glad you were able to get away mate. Sad about the drone, but I think you'll get more use from the Insta360 camera! :-)
Me too mate! A very welcome escape! I think I've already used shed loads more footage from the Insta360 than I ever did from the drone! :D Plus the roadside setup time is vastly reduced!
@@AndyManCam and you get to do that cool accelerating bike thing 😎
Very true! I think I completely forgot it in this one! D'Oh!
@@AndyManCam :D
Remedied in the next one!
Great Video!
Thanks very much St Rufus! Cheers for watching!
we are all in happy place
The happiest of places!
Wicked Roads! Yes I do find having cameras is a pain, worst is when you get home, sound or angle is shite. Anyway its winter here in Australia so not that many fine riding days.
Tell me about it!! Sadly I've had my share of retrospectively discovered cock ups on this trip too! Lessons learned though! Hope things are back to 'normal' by the time your spring arrives DoT!
Going over all your video's ( again 😉) because it's been shitting down with rain for the past 4 months here in Belgium 🥴.
Coming across this video again,and i was wondering if you can give me the name of the song that starts around 11.20 min?
Love that beat,and also your video's, they keep my spirit's lifted.thanks ❤
Found it 😂😂
Ha! Sölden! Been there 2 weeks ago. They were so impressed with me and my bike, they even sent me a letter. 😅
Hahaha! Oh dear. Thankfully I didn't seem to have made that much of an impression!
Beautiful
Totally. Heaven on earth.
@@AndyManCam are you near the eagles nest?
I was about 90 minutes away at the closest. It’s on my list for somewhere to visit at some point though.
