A spectacular trip through West Virginia - from the historical town Bramwell to the New River Gorge Bridge, from an abandoned amusement park to the Ghost Town Thurmond and the Mystery Hole.

What is the most fascinating travel destination? The one we know everything about and have seen on social media a thousand times? Or is it the one that we barely know anything about? West Virginia was the place on the east coast I always wanted to visit the most - because I knew least of it. Join a spectacular trip through remote rolling hills, abandoned mining towns, mystical amusement parks - and explore an underrated state with me, that is now one of my favorite on the east coast to ride a motocycle. Almost heaven, West Virginia.
