A8 (Germany)

 

 

061 13 D A8 Rosenheim

This is where it all went wrong - not much moved here for a while, as the A8/A93 intersected right at the centre of Europe.

064 13-07-05 D A8 Berchtesgadener Land

This area, popularized rather unfortunately by a certain German Leader in the 30s, is known as the 'German Corner' as, on the map, it seems to chip into Austria (and indeed provides the main connection between many pairs of Austrian centres - most cars you see are Austrian and this section of the A8 always features on Austrian traffic reports).

065 13-07-05 D A8 Oesterreich Grenze

The 'German Corner' comes to an end soon, as Bavaria gives way to Salzburg.

040 11 D A8 Ulm (Begrenzung)

In this case, as we shall see, they *mean* 80...!

043 11-07-05 D A8 Ulm (Tunnel)

To end the big dip, a superbly engineered tunnel.

The open road once again, approaching Ulm on the A8.

045 11-07-05 D A8 Neu-Ulm

Neu Ulm is just in Bavaria, unlike Ulm which is in Baden-Wuerttemberg. The boundary is around here somewhere...

046 11-07-05 D A8 Augsburg

The southeastern A8 is not just the main route from Munich to Salzburg (and indeed from southern Bavaria to much of Central and Southern Europe), it is also the main route between the two Austrian cities of Salzburg and Innsbruck (where in links with the A93 here). Therefore, to be blunt, two lanes each way is just a nonsense!

025 08-07-05 D A8 Pforzheim (Autobahntal)

Here the best and worst of the world's most famous motorway network - a superb view and a good surface through a major dip ahead, but no hard shoulder.

030 09-07-05 D A8 Stuttgart Sued

Die Autobahn durch den Wald - Germany is heavily forested and this is a typical scene.

031 09-07-05 D A8 Kreuz Stuttgart

I got lucky here to get the spectacular nightfall. The sign is in fact misleading - the exit leads only to the A81 *south*, the A81 *north* is actually straight on and accessed three junctions later. But don't let that detract from the view!

032 09-07-05 D A8 Dreieck Leonberg

The A81 has moved somewhat - formerly following the route of the A81/A831 route direct towards Stuttgart, it now 'multiplexes' and heads west of Stuttgart. The signage is not clear about that, though.

039 11-07-05 D A8 Geislingen

The A8 just east of Stuttgart and just before the big dip - Geislingen (on the sign), among other things, is Juergen Klinsmann's home town.
