The Romantische Straße (Romantic Road) is the most popular of Germany's roughly 150 vacation routes. It connects several romantic sights along a 210-mile route from Wurzburg on the Main to Fussen at the foot of the Alps. En route, it passes romantic towns, hamlets, castles, and churches. Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Schloss Neuschwanstein are the two most popular sights on the route. The Bavarian Alps are astonishingly beautiful. The Alps suddenly rise out of green meadows, making any approach from Munich or the north spectacular. The mountains are easily reached from Munich by road or rail and are popular for day-trips. In addition to the mountains, the area teams with history, interesting buildings, lakes, rivers, and countless hiking and cycling opportunities. Many ski resorts are popular with families. Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Oberammergau, Berchtesgaden, Chiemsee, Konigssee - these are just a few of the unforgettable places to visit here.
