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?

The red one is beautiful and leads through interesting landscapes.
South Tyrol is a marvelous place. Following the Drava into Austria is a nice path, I’ve done it two years ago.
I would also recommend following the Danube through Croatia and Serbia.
Just before the coratian border there is a camping place in Sarengrad. An old lady called Dinka runs it. She takes small donations and asks you for a message in her guest book. staying there, I had the best night on the Balkan.
Save journey!
Even roughly looking at this map in such a low detail view.
Large forest areas are the dark green spots. You are clearly missing most of them.
Want real forest and wilderness? Go around Baltic, or start in Estonia and go all the way through Poland, Germany.
Want more “wild”? Of course balkans, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania…
Your “inquiry” is so vague and general that it’s not easy to suggest “must see places or routes”
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.
