Motorcycle Tour Balkans – Guided Balkan XXL Tour

The Balkan XXL motorcycle tour starts in the Graz region: after loading luggage into the support vehicle, the first stage leads through Slovenia and Croatia to Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Banja Luka, the capital of Republika Srpska, the first day ends with a stroll through the old town.

The Balkan motorcycle tour follows the Vrbas river past watermills, a waterfall and a historic railway bridge to Sarajevo. A German-speaking walk through the old town reveals the history and culture of the Bosnian capital.

The drive along scenic gorges leads to the UNESCO bridge in Visegrad, before the Balkan motorcycle route crosses into Serbia. In Mokra Gora, the group stays overnight amid the typical Serbian blend of tradition and modernity.

Back through Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Montenegro motorcycle tour reaches the border around midday. Through Durmitor National Park, the route climbs to nearly 1,900 metres and up to Zabljak, the highest-elevation town in the country.

A half-rest day follows the Tara Canyon by motorcycle, Europe's deepest gorge, to the ski and spa resort of Kolasin. The hotel wellness area invites relaxation in the afternoon.

After winding mountain roads in southeast Montenegro, the Albania motorcycle trip reaches the Albanian border. A German-speaking guided walk in Shkodra gives insights into road conditions, culture and the warmth of Albanian hospitality.

Through the Albanian interior and winding mountain roads, the North Macedonia motorcycle leg follows a reservoir near Debar to Lake Ohrid – one of the most memorable stages of the entire tour.

After a walk by Lake Ohrid, the Southeast Europe motorcycle tour travels over well-built scenic roads back to Albania. In Tirana, a guided walk reveals the eventful history of the capital.

Shortly after Shkodra, the Adriatic coast motorcycle tour first reaches the famous Jadranska Magistrala. Two nights by the sea near Budva bring well-earned rest after the mountain stages so far.

A free day is a set part of any 15-day motorcycle tour: time to unwind at the hotel right by the sea, or for an optional self-guided excursion into the mountains around Budva.

Over a pass at nearly 1,000 metres and a tasting of local prosciutto, the Croatia motorcycle tour follows the Bay of Kotor before crossing into Croatia and continuing to Dubrovnik.

The morning is dedicated to an extended visit to Dubrovnik; in the afternoon the Adriatic coastal road continues to Neum, where Bosnia and Herzegovina briefly meets the Adriatic once more.

Narrow country roads lead to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Mostar, where the motorcycle journey stops at the Stari Most, the historic old bridge. Afterwards the route returns to Croatia and continues along the coast to the Makarska Riviera.

To enjoy the finest section of the Adriatic coast without interruption, the Croatia motorcycle tour bridges the densely populated areas around Split and Sibenik via motorway, before around 150 kilometres of coastal road with sea views follow.

The final day of the Balkan XXL motorcycle tour leads through Slovenia back to the Graz region. With many impressions from eight countries, one of the most varied guided motorcycle tours in southeastern Europe comes to a close.
