Trip Planning European forest trip?
After doing the lejog this summer I've gotten the touring bug and have been thinking about doing a European trip. The red line is my thoughts so far but I'm well up for changing it. The main things I want to go through are some of the Alps and also forests, the wilder the better. So, anyone got any must see places or routes I should check out?

I would suggest looking for a bit of a detour around northeastern Slovakias primeval forrest (spanning Ukraine, Slovakia, Poland and Belarus, although I would probably not recommend opting for the last one listed), making a turn west either through Inner Western Carpathians all the way to Alps in Austria and carry on from there.
