=== Assistant: That sounds like an excellent 4-day motorcycle trip! ===
That sounds like an excellent 4-day motorcycle trip! From Budapest you can easily make a loop through Slovenia, dip into northern Italy, and return via Austria. Below is a recommended route that balances great roads, scenic landscapes, and manageable riding hours (4–6 hours per day so you have time for breaks and exploring).

===== - Route: Budapest → Székesfehérvár → Lake Balaton’s north shore (Tihany Peninsula) → Nagykanizsa → cross into Slovenia at Ptuj → Maribor =====
* Distance: ~400 km (5–6 hours riding)
* Highlights: - Ride along Lake Balaton’s scenic north shore. - Stop in Tihany for views and coffee. - Cross into Slovenia and enjoy rolling vineyards around Ptuj and Maribor.
* Overnight: Maribor (great wine town, lively old center).

===== - Route: Maribor → Žalec → Logarska Dolina (Alpine valley) → Jezersko → Lake Bled =====
* Distance: ~280 km (5 hours riding, lots of curves)
* Highlights: - The Solčava Panoramic Road (epic alpine motorcycle road!). - Logarska Dolina valley – hidden gem with waterfalls and meadows. - Scenic ride via Jezersko mountain pass. - End at Lake Bled – take an evening walk or try local cream cake (“kremšnita”).
* Overnight: Lake Bled.

===== - Route: Lake Bled → Kranjska Gora → Vršič Pass (1611m) → Soča Valley → Passo di Predil → Tarvisio (Italy) → into the Dolomites (Cortina d’Ampezzo area). =====
* Distance: ~280–300 km (5–6 hours riding, twisty mountain roads).
* Highlights: - Vršič Pass: Slovenia’s highest and most famous motorcycle pass (cobblestones on some switchbacks). - Soča River valley – turquoise water, stunning views. - Cross into Italy: Passo di Predil, Lago di Fusine. - Enter the Dolomites – one of the world’s best motorcycle regions.
* Overnight: Cortina d’Ampezzo or nearby.

===== - Route: Cortina → Misurina → Dobbiaco → Lienz (Austria) → Grossglockner High Alpine Road (spectacular, toll road, worth it!) → Zell am See → Salzburg → Linz → Vienna → Budapest. =====
* Distance: Depends how far you want to push. To Budapest directly from Grossglockner is ~600 km (7–8 hours), so you may want to stop overnight near Salzburg or Vienna if you prefer a slower pace.
* Highlights: - Sunrise in the Dolomites (if you’re up early). - Grossglockner High Alpine Road – bucket-list motorcycle road. - Austrian lakes and Salzburg for a cultural stop. - Final highway blast back to Budapest.

✅ Tips:
* Best riding months: May–September (mountain passes can be snowy outside these months).
* Fuel: Easy to find, but fill up before high alpine passes.
* Roads: Slovenia and Austria have vignette requirements for highways; avoid motorways if you want curvier scenic routes.
* Lodging: Plenty of biker-friendly pensions and guesthouses along the route.

Would you like me to make a shorter, more relaxed loop (without Dolomites) or keep this as a high-adventure mountain route?
