The largest European collection for slow-road enthusiasts.
Estimates based on scenic stops, not highway speeds.
SlowRoads features a powerful custom-built route planner designed specifically for scenic travel. Instead of just navigating from point A to B via the fastest highway, our tool helps you integrate scenic roads into your itinerary. Enter your home address or current location, and the planner will calculate the best connection to the start or end of any route.
Along with routing directions, the map retrieves detailed elevation profiles so you can inspect steep climbs beforehand. You can download the high-resolution GPX file to navigate offline with your GPS device. You'll also get instant access to 3-day weather forecasts, and can consult our AI Copilot (with optional live GPS tracking) for local travel advice and POIs.
Follow the Mosel Wine Road from Perl to Koblenz along about 175 km of riverside B-roads: slate Riesling slopes rise above a flat drive past Trier’s Porta Nigra, Bernkastel-Kues, Cochem’s Reichsburg, and a detour to Burg Eltz.
Eleven hairpins climb past Stigfossen to 858 m on Norway's most famous tourist road. Steep, narrow, and winter-closed — a serious cooling and brake test for older, low-power campervans.
Austria's highest toll pass: 36 km from Fusch to Heiligenblut, 36 hairpins to 2,504 m beside the Pasterze glacier and Grossglockner peak. Relentless 12%+ grades test coolant and brakes in classic and low-power campervans.

"Slow traveling is not just about the destination, it is about the poetry of the pavement."
Search for the most beautiful roads in Europe and you will often find lists of highways. On SlowRoads, we focus on the alternatives. We analyze terrain data, historical importance, and scenic points of interest to curate routes that are truly world-class for travelers in campervans or vintage vehicles.
Whether it is the 11 hairpin turns of the Trollstigen in Norway or the rolling vineyard terraces of the Douro Valley in Portugal, each route offers a unique emotional response to the landscape. We prioritize the "secondary network"—roads where the speed limit is a suggestion and the view is the command.
SlowRoads is the central hub for travelers who believe the pavement itself is the destination. We collect, analyze, and detail the most scenic highways, mountain passes, and historic paths across Europe.
We carefully screen routes based on their landscape quality, historic value, and road-surface suitability. A true scenic road bypasses the speed-focused motorways in favor of winding secondary networks. This approach lets you explore medieval villages, stop at vineyard cooperatives, and camp with stunning vistas, preserving the art of slow travel.
Our collection spans diverse topographies. Discover gentle drives like the Mosel Wine Road (Moselweinstraße) in Germany, which traces flat riverbeds lined with steep vineyard terraces and castle ruins. Or, push your vehicle to its limits on alpine giants like the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria or the Col de la Bonette on the Route des Grandes Alpes in France, where hairpin bends lead to breathtaking mountain views.
For drivers of campervans, motorhomes, or scenic road-trip enthusiasts, detailed terrain data is crucial. SlowRoads provides precise elevation profiles and highlights steep sections exceeding 7% grade. Our AI Copilot can offer customized advice on points of interest, photography spots, and camper-friendly parking along each route.
