Romantic Road in Bavaria

The Romantic Road is one of the most popular attractions of Bavaria. From the Main River and Wurzburg down to Fussen in the "Allgäu" you will find a series of gorgeous towns and villages with castles, churches and landscapes like in a fairy-tale of the Grimm Brothers. On more than 350 km the Romantic Road opens up the richness of the south German culture. Off the highway the traveller can enjoy both silence and a various choice of impressions: episcopal residences, princely courts, proud trading cities, Bavarian palaces, all surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Most famous are Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Dinkelsbuhl, Augsburg and Neuschwanstein near Schwangau.
