Series - Top 10 Drives of a lifetime: #7 Romantische Straße, Germany

Beautiful medieval town of Rothenburg o/d Tauber by night

The Romantic Road, linking the Alps to the river Main, along the western border of Bavaria, is Germany's best known and most popular holiday route.
Over 350 miles of country roads allow you to admire the beautiful and historic medieval towns of Lower Franconia, Swabia and Bavaria. The road often winds through forgotten sections of countryside, connecting walled towns and picturesque villages.

From Wurzburg, Rothenburg, Nordlingen and Dinkelsbuhl, charming towns rich in history and fortunately not involved in the bombing war, to Augusta, rich city bank, and Fussen, the starting point of the German Alpine Road. Fairytale castles like Neuschwanstein and the Alps complete the charm.
The Romantic Road is really a journey not to be missed.
