Re: Germany trip first week of April, any suggestions?

The two agree that there's too much driving but based on the information he posted, does he have any alternative? I don't think a train would be practical and flying between locations is probably not an option and so that leaves driving. Though you guys may have a point, you neglect to consider what would be his alternatives. Actually, the best way to go through Bavaria, weather permitting of course, is with a motorcycle, and I saw lots of them when I was there. But with 2 kids ages 10 and 14, I'm not sure that's practical either.

Seems like too much driving and not enough seeing. Heidelberg, take a
tour
on the Nekker River. Lunch in the museum in Heidelberg was very nice.



You have received a lot of good advice so far. But, I agree with California
Bill. A lot of driving with not a lot of time in each location. But, if it
is a first time, and you just want to see the countryside, you will get to
see a lot of different areas during your visit.

On one of our trips many years age, we enjoyed the "Herrenchiemsee, a
complex of royal buildings on the Herreninsel, an island in the middle of
the Chiemsee, Bavaria's largest lake, 60 km south east of Munich." Notes
taken from Wikipedia, the on-line free encyclopedia. But, you may want to
spend more time in Munich.

You might consider using the trip planning capabilities of the Michelin site
at http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/tpl/hme/MaHomePage.htm We did
this the last time we visited Germany, and made a 2,600 mile trip over 28
days through Germany, The Czech Republic, and Austria without missing a
turn.

Have a great time.
