If you don't want to ride the Autobahn ....
 

Just for info for anyone that might be interested.

If you don't feel like slogging along the German autobahn when travelling to central Europe, I just booked the bike and an overnight sleeper couchette for EUR 88.0 Dusseldorf to Vienna :thumbup1:- that's cheaper than the cost of the petrol!!!

Check out A guide to Motorail trains in Europe: Taking your car by train or ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG: Deutschland.

You do need to be able to speak a bit of German mind!

Cheers

... and if you don't understand any German you can get it from the horse's mouth, in English and book online: DB Autozug - Homepage
