Where to Stay in the German Alps. 8 Days in Munich, Garmisch, Salzburg, Rothenburg. 4K Travel Guide

I haven’t been back since 1967. Trip was cancelled 3 years ago due to covid. Retired now and looking forward to an extended visit soon. Thank you for this video.

I’m headed to Germany with my family in August. We found your videos a few weeks ago and we’ve completely shifted our agenda to spend more time in the Alps and nature. Thanks for all the videos!

I lived in Germany for 5 years and my favorite way to admire Neuschwanstein was from the hiking trails up Säuling mountain. Not a recommendation for everyone but an awesome hike with stunning views.

Next week we'll be visiting Munich, Berchtesgaden, and Garmisch for two weeks. Can't wait!

Thank you for the videos! I've marked some places we'd like to go when in and around Munich. I may take you up on the consult! Cheers from Alberta, Canada.

Double thumbs ups for 1.) going to Salzburg and never once mentioning "The Sound of Music" and 2.) agreeing Rothenburg is a "tourist trap." Returning for three weeks in September! Thanks for the great information.

We are flying in June and planning on staying eight days plus two travel days. I’m encouraging my wife that we get used to the time change before we get there. This couldn’t have come at a better time.

Looks amazing. I lived in Augsburg, miss everything about Germany and booked to stay in Salzburg too.

So glad I found your channel! Since my last name is Keller, and love Hofbrau dark, I’ll definitely have to check out the Hobraukeller. My parents took my brother and me along in 1969 and we stayed at a hotel on a lake at the bottom of the Zugspitze, which was absolutely magical. Of course, back then, with the dollar riding high, we were able to stay at the hotel for incredibly cheap ($10, if I’m not mistaken). I won’t be going for about three or four years, when I retire. I love hiking and will go to many of your suggestions. It always amazes me how little effort it takes to leave the crowds behind, if you’re willing to do a little walking/hiking. Thanks again!

Super. In June 2022, I met up with my 1970s 1st girlfriend for 1st time in 46 years to relive some of the car trip we did back then from UK. I live close to Memmingen (1-1,5 hrs with car/train/bus from Munich) Day 1: She flew Stanstead-Memmingen with Ryanair. Drove 40 minutes to Lindau island on Lake Constance. Day 2: 10 minutes to Bregenz in Austria, brief coffee in Switzerland on Lake Constance, drive through mountains to alpine Sonthofen in Germany. Day 3: Neuschwanstein/Hohenschwangau, Reutte, Linderhof Palace, Oberammergau then past Garmisch & Mittenwald (both more or less closed due to G7 Summit there) & to Seefeld in Austria above Innsbruck. Day 4: Past Innsbruck up Inn valley to Berchtesgarden (Hitler's Eagle's Nest) & the spectacular Königssee, & on to Salzburg Day 5: Drive back in to Germany to Chiemsee, Herrenchiemsee (Versailles) palace & Fraueninsel using great ferry services & on to Munich passing close to Tegernsee. Munich centre, Viktuallienmarkt, Hofbräuhaus, Franziskaner, Odeonsplatz etc! Day 6: Sunday & of course English garden stroll, water surfing, Chinese Tower beer garden, Schwabing, Olympiapark (the summer Tollwood festival), finish evening in Augustiner beer garden. Day 7: Starnberg Lake to Ammersee Lake & Andechs far too long with band playing. On to Landsberg & final night. Day 8: 30 minutes to Memmingen Airport (Memmingen town well worth visit) 900 km in 8 days. Most of these places are covered in your video, all easily reached by train from Munich. We didn't manage Rothenburg, but had done that in 1975! Hope to be repeating something similar in 2023 & years to come based simply around Munich, Bavaria, bits of neighbouring state of Baden-Württemberg, Austria, Switzerland & even Czech Republic. Keep up the great work. Servus!

I love this region!! There are lots of forests amd nature!! Amazing!! ❤❤❤

There are a lot of Americans who visit this beautiful part of Germany and are fascinated, and now yes want to stay here forever. One can understand why.

I love this! Thanks so much! I want to visit both Munich & Salzburg but really want to spend time in the smaller places in Bavaria! I so appreciate the recommendations to skip some things that often fall on these lists!

This was SO helpful! Thank you!

Thank you sooooo much for the video ! 😘 Subscribed!

Great and honest video. I lived for 15 years in the Munich area and even I could learn some interesting suggestions from this video.

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm planning a trip to Bavaria this summer and watching your videos is really helping me plan out my itinerary in detail. 👍🏿

Really great videos of a beautiful area. Thanks to both of you.

Thanks for the video, has given me some great ideas for day trips when I visit in early September, only difference is I‘ll be making Salzburg my base for the first week and Munich my base for the second week.

Glad I stumbled upon your channel. I will be visiting Munich over New Year's this year. Looking forward to watch some of your other videos on the area as well.
