BEST OF SOUTH => Castles of Ludwig II, walking in the scenery of the alps, rural countrylife in the Allgäu, metropolitan life in Munich with museums etc.

Suggestions for a roadtrip (originated from a mail to Emily on SV Emily-Luna)

I think the key might be to concentrate on mayor sights to have time and fun [or bring more time :-)

General:

THE MIDDLE - Frankfurt Area:

(maybe 2 nights, to get rid of the jetlag (going east can be uncomfortable) or depending on your time just go south immediately):

Bad Homburg and surrounding


Frankfurt

Eat: "Frankfurter Grüne Soße" (if it is made with Mayonaise then you are in the wrong restaurant => avoid => ask before ordering)
Drink: "Apfelwein" (Äppelwoi) - I recommend starting with only a very small amount :-)) or in season (autumn) "Süßer" freshly squeezed apples (no alcohol)


SOUTH-ALLGÄU

The South is beer and cheese heaven - often you find craft-beer and a local cheese-factory to visit (quite different quality to what you get vacuum-packed in a supermarket :-) and chances are high that you find a good bakery which is still doing bread by themselfs and not getting factory-reheated stuff!
(a couple of nights, maybe 4-5)

Ulm / Memmingen

Eat: "Geschwollene und eine Seele"


Maybe end the day in or near (sometimes the little villages are cute to stay, mostly more "real life" and often less expensive/better value for money)

  • Eistobel - Nice Walk near Isny (slippery when wet) [calculate 3+h (or walk fast!)]
  • Käseküche Isny Kaeskueche-Isny - good organic cheese with the possibility to have a look on the process (imho better than visiting Isny itself)



    • Füssen

    Eat: "Bayerischer Wurstsalat"


    Oberstdorf


    Proceed via Bad Hindelang (visit the cheesefactory and the cheeseshops and buy a hammered forged iron-pan in an old hammer-mill to do great "Bratkartoffeln" (good for steak as well)) [Eat: Kässpatzen [Käse-Spätzle] and via Schloss Linderhof and a bit of Austria (where you should fill up your tank => cheaper fuel), in Austria you will pass the village "Ehrwald" where they had in 2013 a tiny shop with great local products (cheese, ham etc.) "Dorfladen Ehrwald" (+43 664 733 46009). you might want to stop at the Tänzelfest in Kaufbeuren ca. 1600 kids doing history in mid July (ESE of Memmingen)

    Next stop is (between Munich and Ulm):

    Landsberg am Lech

    (2 nights)

    pass Munich in the south and go to the lake in the area called "Chiemgau", lovely landscape => my favorite in Germany.
    Stop at Café Winklstüberl - cakeparadise near Schliersee

    SOUTH-EAST


    Chiemsee - a lake in a great setting

    (a couple of nights, maybe 4-5, we often stayed in big farmhouses with lots of rooms a bit out of town)

    Eat: "Renken" - a local fish

    Chiemsee: more links and detailed infos where to live and eat etc.

    If :-) you still have time for daytrips:


    proceed via small, scenic roads through the hinterland towards

    Munich

    (a couple of nights, maybe 3)
    Eat: "Weißwürstchen und eine Brezel"


    On the way back to Frankfurt:


    => too much to do ??? time is too short ??? => Do not rush, COME BACK !!!

    ENJOY :-)
