Where to go? Croatia? Bosnia? Czech Republic?

[A900ss]

I did a weeks road trip last month (Dijon, Geneva, Chamonix, Monaco, Milan, St Moritz, Stuttgart, Baden Baden, Brugges) which was 2.5k miles in 7 days so proves I have an iron butt.

Now thinking of going of a bit further east.

Croatia, Bosnia, Czech?

10 days.

Recommendation and roads most welcome.

Bosnia starts to get a bit more interesting with insurance - it's unlikely a normal UK policy will cover you, so you'll need to buy (pretty damn useless) cover at the border.

Czech Republic very scenic, but the roads are terrible. Was there last year in the mgf, remember pulling off a bone jarring A road onto a motorway, only to find it was worse!

Since you only got as far East as Stuttgart, there's plenty of
Germany and Austria without bothering to go even further East.

It's about 420 miles from Stuttgart to Vienna, for instance.

Plenty of the Austrian Alps to have a go at, as well as
the well known tourist district of Upper Bavaria.

Anywhere from Bregenz to Graz makes some pretty interesting driving.

Personal favourite is Timmelsjoch, but if you absolutely must
go where Top Gear and all the sheep go, then the Stelvio is available
for a few months in high summer.

After the Bosnia insurance comment above, I'm starting to think what you've said above is more realistic.

I did Croatia a few years back and loved it in a wholly unsuitable car...
