The Romantic Road by Campervan
Quick summary: For a campervan, the Romantic Road is a natural choice: it is Germany’s most famous scenic route, running around 400 km from Füssen, near Neuschwanstein, north to Würzburg. It links medieval walled towns such as Nördlingen, Dinkelsbühl and Rothenburg ob der Tauber, with Augsburg and the Würzburg Residence along the way. Distances are short, and Stellplätze outside the old town walls make it ideal for an RV rental, campervan or motorhome, either as a loop from Munich or one-way.
