Charley Boorman
Exclusive film premiere ‘AZORES UNTAMED’
Spectacular landscapes, winding roads and a real sense of adventure - Charley Boorman and Touratech were on the road in the Azores! Their experiences were captured in a specially produced film that shows the breathtaking journey in unique images.
Dylan Wickrama
At the end of the road - lost on the Pacific
An adventure that breaks boundaries! When the road ends, Dylan Wickrama embarks on the most extraordinary journey of his life: across the Pacific on a motorcycle!
In his inspiring documentary, he tells of courage, determination and the irrepressible urge for freedom. Authentic, captivating and absolutely unique - a MUST SEE for all adventurers!
Fatima Alloghani
From Dubai to Erbil
Fatima Alloghani is the first Emirati woman to dare riding solo by adventure motorcycle (BMW GS750) from Dubai to Erbil, covering over 2,200 km across Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
More than just kilometers, Fatima’s rides are about breaking norms and reclaiming space for Arab women in adventure. With cultural pride and fearless determination, she balances tradition with boldness — the shaila (women head scarf) with the helmet.
Having just completed a 3,200 km ride from Erbil to Zagreb, she’s now preparing for her next leg: a solo journey across North Africa to Morocco. For Fatima, this isn’t just a ride — it’s a message to every woman who was told “you can’t”: Yes, you can."

Knot in the head - curve messed up! Stress under the helmet!
Why is riding a motorbike not always just about riding technique and physics? Because sometimes our heads, the thoughts in them, get in the way. As a mental coach, Claudia brings you closer to the topic of stress and helps you to become more mindful and self-reflective. This can lead to a better understanding of yourself and the ‘knots in your head’. Only a relaxed body, a focussed mind and good riding technique will lead you to a good and safe performance!
Travelling to Iran alone as a woman on a not-so-standard touring motorbike?
I was able to experience a journey that couldn't have been more unusual. Running away from the police, being looked after by the locals, wrenching on a motorbike with a headscarf in the middle of Tehran and giving people courage. Iran is worth a trip.
Yukon in winter to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Ocean - You must be Germans
In 2014, Alex (Alyxmoto) and Martin finalised the idea of riding motorbikes through the Yukon up to the Arctic Ocean in winter. In 2016 Martin was back in the Black Forest from his trip around the world and in 2017 the plan to ride up to the Arctic Ocean in winter was taken up again. Covid delayed the whole thing by a few years and in February/March 2022 the final stop was in Dawson City. As the Northern Territories were still closed due to coronavirus.
In January/February 2025, there was no stopping Alex (Alyxmoto). With driving days around -37 degrees, they finally arrived at the famous ‘Arctic Ocean’ sign.
We, Mia and Max, rode two old motorcycles from Hamburg to Iran and back again.
On our journey, we traveled through 13 different countries, covered over 20,000 km, crossed dozens of mountain passes and countless mud pits, had wonderful encounters, and arrived back in Hamburg after six months.
Georgia - a land of contrasts
A motorbike trip to the Caucasus by Wolf Haenlein
From the beaches on the Black Sea to the high peaks of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus and the lonely steppes in the east: journalist Wolf Haenlein has swapped his secure job at Austria's biggest newspaper for a motorbike and takes you to Georgia, a country on the border between Europe and Asia that is as diverse as it is fascinating.
Two Up Across the World
In 2018 Sandra & Fiona quit their jobs and started their two up adventure across the globe.
Six and a half years, five continents, and 200,000 kilometers later, they’re still chasing horizons. Most recently, they’ve conquered the entire West Coast of Africa, spent a year discovering its rich cultures, and are now riding from the Middle East to Europe—determined to make it in time for the event.
Traveling through Sri Lanka on a motorcycle - on jungle trails & tea plantations
The adventurer Dylan Wickrama discovers his homeland Sri Lanka in his very own way - not on the beach, but he likes to ride his motorcycle along the island's most remote roads. Where others only see palm trees and waves, for him a new story begins around every bend - interwoven with culture, childhood memories and the wild beauty of the country.
In the mountainous heart of Sri Lanka, the roads wind their way through green tea plantations and rubber forests. The road goes deeper and deeper - into the jungle, on muddy off-road tracks, where elephants suddenly appear at the side of the road. And anyone who knows Dylan knows that where adventure might be waiting, a raft is never far away...
In his exciting and humorous live presentation, Dylan takes you on a journey full of encounters, challenges - and a lot of heart.
Your world ..... is the world!
On the road on a motorbike for 35 years: sometimes shorter, sometimes longer; as a solo traveller, as a tour guide.
Europe, the Balkans, the Americas, the Silk Road, Nepal.... dives into her travel stories & anecdotes - peppered with great photos from faraway countries.
Trans-Canada & Alaska
From Newfoundland to the Arctic Ocean - 22,000 exciting kilometres
From the westernmost point on the island of Newfoundland to the Arctic Ocean, with a detour to Alaska, Charlie Spiegel covered over 22,000 kilometres on his BMW G650GS Sertao.
But the really special experience was driving the unpaved Dempster Highway, which is over 1,000 kilometres long and leads to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Ocean.

Active driving: Guided road tours
Riding yourself - that's the greatest thing for motorcycle travelers. That's why the Touratech Travel Event offers a wide range of riding activities. If you want, you can simply get together with other bikers and go for a ride together through the hilly landscape around Niedereschach. However, if you prefer to discover real insider tips from locals, a guided tour is worthwhile.
Experienced Black Forest guides will show you their favorite routes - small local trails, hidden treasures and special highlights off the beaten track. The tours usually last 4 to 5 hours, including short breaks. There are no major stops for refreshments, but your guides are flexible: whether it's a quick photo stop at the cuckoo clock or a piece of Black Forest cake - many things can be included.
All tours take place in small groups - for an intensive and relaxed experience.
Show rides
Experience exciting show rides on the event site with Enduro Travel & Training! Here you will be impressively shown how to ride a BMW GS correctly and confidently off-road. Fancy diving into an off-road adventure yourself? Then our taster courses for enduro beginners are just the thing for you.
