From Frankfurt to Lake Garda
From Main to Mincio in two driving days: the route takes the direct diagonal via Innsbruck, where one night splits the Alpine crossing. That leaves a full week on the southern shore: the flat, beachy part of the lake that costs the least nerves on a first motorhome tour.
