My first motorcycle trip in Europe (June 2009 - Part 8 Jaufen Pass - Telves)

(continued from part 7 )

Do I look smiley enough here at Jaufen Pass?


How else can it be with a view like this:

There's still strips of snow at the end of June up here:





Apologies for the redundancy but I liked the view too much to omit any image🙂.

Here's the serpentine road that leads up to here:






 Lovely green slopes:



The heroic little flowers that manage to survive above 2000m from sea level:

Yep, you can also have a bite or a drink with a view here:

Yours truly in the background getting ready:

Hoping on the bike:

And hitting the road again:

As we go down the SS44 we decide to make a small detour to Telves cause... what can go wrong even if we're happily lost around? Here's what used to be the thirst stop for animals back in the day:

Decades later I'm on an iron horse so a stop here is only for aesthetic/nostalgic reasons.

That's how the sporadic houses look like here:

Moving on up we get our first sight of the local church:

Not the only thing worth looking at around here:



Same church:

Look at that view:


Houses don't look that bad either:




I can sit here staring at this all day:


Freeze this moment for me please:





Time to hop on the bike again:

Great views are not over though:


Bye Telves (or Telfes if you're more Austrian/German oriented), thanks for the wonderful views!

Did I say that great views are over? Certainly not:


Even at the cafe we stop later for some food and drinks on our way back to Innsbruck:


I look like meditating trying to forget my hunger while waiting for my food basically cause... I kinda am:

The wonders of Italy, even at a cafe you can have a great dish. Too hungry to picture it though - sorry🙏.

See you on part 9!
