Deutschland and Reutte, Austria






After France, was a train trip east to Bavaria, Germany. Our main travels in Germany followed the general route of the Romantic Road, a medieval road leading from Wurzburg in the north, into the Alps, and ending up at Fussen, a city with two famous castles. In Wurzburg, we visited Scott's family friend, Vivian Becker. She really made us feel welcome and made sure we had a great experience in her city. Then we rented a car and drove along the autobahn (!) to Rothenberg, (another medieval site) a beautifully preserved, walled city where most buildings were several hundred years old. Last was Fussen and the fairy-tale castles there. To pick up country number four, we did also drive across the border to the Austrian vacation town of Reutte. And before leaving Germany, we dropped the car off in Munich and enjoyed a colorful respite in a shady, packed, and massive beer garden.
