geoff Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi folks, I'm wanting to explore Bavaria but as I havent been able to obtain any brochures I would be interested in any tips on where to visit, where to avoid, quiet stellplatzs,etc. I'll be starting at Frankfurt , finishing at Lindau, and I've got two weeks free to explore the region. We're not interested in theme parks ,shopping malls, art galleries, walking or climbing (either seen it, done it, cant afford it, or past it !) Please restrict your suggestions to Bavaria, cos however nice it is I dont want to leave Germany or visit the Black Forest (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syd Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hitlers "Eagles Nest" at/close to Berchesgarden is well worth a trip. Views are stunning with a view of some 40 miles or more Car park half way up the mountain then you have to take a bus. Don't go too late in the year as this place has been known to be closed early by snow. Some of the Sound of Music was filmed around here and the places are absolutely stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run it off the battery and charge it up at work ! Anyway, can I assume from your answer that you dont have any first hand knowledge of that part of Europe?

malc d Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'd agree with Syd. The Eagles Nest is worth a visit. When we went there, many years ago, we were bussed half way up the mountain, then took a lift up through the middle of the mountain and came out on a small stretch of land, in brilliant sunshine, above the clouds. ( ... and it's some lift ! ) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crinklystarfish Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 geoff - 2012-05-18 11:52 AM...We're not interested in theme parks ,shopping malls, art galleries, walking or climbing ... Is there anything you do actually want to do - it might help. If you're into celebrities I saw Michael Schumacher in a huge Concorde on the stellplatz at Inzell - doubt he's still there though. Spent some time rough camping in the general vicinity as I'm into biathlon and it's close to Ruhpolding. It's a cracking area - though mainly geared to outdoory type things.

Philman Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The King's Castles near Fussen are well worth a visit. One of them is the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Castle. Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, dont worry about bumping into me and spoiling my visit. I'm a trained psychiatric nurse and I've had to cope with people with worse problems than yours ! Perhaps it would be helpful if we could talk face to face, as I could show you how to overcome the inhibitions regarding your true identity and discuss whether your "nom de plume" should it be viewed as a noun or a verb ? Must go, I'm going to try that search function you suggested TTFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmac Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Lake Konstanz is ok with a Zepplin museum around ther somewhere. One problem around the lake shore is that the midges are zepplin sized also. Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philman Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 If you do get down to visit the Eagle's Nest, then just a few minutes away just over the border is Salzburg which is really nice and lots to see there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I hesitate to mention this as it is not quiet Bavaria but as Philman has said Salzburg is beautiful but as I hinted in my first reply The Sound of Music Trail that starts in Salzburg is a absolute MUST because it was filmed in the most beautiful spots in that area. You might think that it sounds a bit NAFF but believe me it isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 At the risk of prompting a reply from JM regarding my change of route, I'll take your advice Syd and cross the border to Salzburg as I dont want to miss shooting some good views. Thanks for the tip David but we've already visited the balloon factory. What month did you go, we never saw any midges early summer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek pringle Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi Geoff, If you have changed your mind about your destination then probably no good to you but must agree with earlier poster that the castles south of Munich are great and there is a great site at Forgensee, alongside a smashing lake. BTW I phoned the German Tourist Office in London a few weeks ago and received heaps of literature free from them- worth the effort. enjoy wherever derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
