Romantic Road and Alps Campervan Itinerary: 10 Days
Quick summary: This 10-day campervan loop from Munich follows the Romantic Road north through Augsburg and Nördlingen to Rothenburg and Würzburg, then returns south along the route to Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and the lakes. It combines medieval towns with royal castles and alpine scenery. Stellplätze outside the walled towns and campsites near the castles suit an RV rental, campervan or motorhome, and a one-way option to Frankfurt saves the return drive.
