Hi, my husband and I are doing a last minute trip to Bavaria for 6 days at the end of June/early July. We will mostly likely skip Munich and head straight to the countryside. Our first priority is cooler weather which we understand would be in Southern Bavaria closest to the alps. (Can someone confirm this is correct versus northern bavaria). Next priority is avoiding overtourism, which I know might be difficult since the alps lakes are so popular. Are there areas that will be quieter this time of year or will it be packed everywhere we go? (We really don't care about top tourist/instagram spots). We'd like to stay in beautiful, fairytale villages that would be good bases (I am thinking 2 bases this time of year) to explore lakes, towns, and go hiking. We consider ourselves foodies so if there are towns or areas with exceptionally better food scenes, please let us know.
Ideally, we could do this all by train but if we need to, we would rent a car.
Thanks so much for your help!
