Germany's famous romantic road has collected 366 kilometers of track, a large number of cities and attractions. It crosses the country through Bavaria and through Baden-Württemberg from north to south. The road has become one of the most colorful in Europe, and every kilometer of it shows unique views.
How to get there
Munich is the main transport hub in Bavaria, followed by Frankfurt. The railway line connects Frankfurt and many European cities. Frankfurt also has the largest airport.
Munich has the second most important airport, which serves both domestic and international flights. From Munich and Frankfurt, you can go on a guided tour.
Climate
The climate almost along the entire length of the road is mild - in summer it is 23 degrees, and in winter it is a little less than 0. August became a warm month, but it is worth refraining from traveling in January.
Transport
Most cities on the road can be reached by train, but the best option would be to use your own car or tour by bus. In the second case, the tour starts in Frankfurt (north) or Munich (south).
At the same time, the bus travels every day in any direction, so you can get off the flight anywhere and enjoy the scenery (the fact is that the stops are always short, and you won't be able to see everything within the tour). The schedule is available from your guide, and the route is marked on a variety of maps.
Buses carry tourists between April and May, and each journey is a 13-hour guided tour. The official ticket costs 144 euros and can be purchased upon boarding. You can also buy a ticket for part of the trip.
Kitchen
The cuisine is varied - it all depends on the region:
- in the Bavarian part, a variety of meat and dumplings are prepared. The traditional dish is white sausage, served with wheat-based beer, cretzels and mustard.
- in the Baden-Württemberg region, pasta with different ingredients is respected. Pasta is served with broth or fried with eggs.
Of course, the list of dishes will be much larger and more varied, but these are the traditional ones.
