Hello
My husband and I will be traveling via car from Prague to Fussen in Sept. We will be staying in Fussen as a home base while we explore the Bavaria area. Would like some suggestions for what to do. We will do the castle tours and zugspitze. What other areas or adventures to look for?
Thanks
Lisa
I really liked the little museum there and really enjoyed just walking around Fussen-one of my favorite places I've been.
Cala, hello fellow Birmingham person. How does Fussen compare to Garmisch? We get to do one overnight car trip outside Munich.
How does Fussen compare to Garmisch? Both are heavily touristed, but for different reasons. Tourists visit Füssen primarily because of it's convenience to the famous castles. Garmisch-Partenkirchen serves as a base for mountain-based activities (skiing in the winter, hiking and mountain biking in the summer). I prefer GaP, personally, but mainly because of the outdoor activities.
When we visited in May 2014 there was a Sunday evening open-air concert on the small square in front of the Gasthof Krone that was delightful - you might ask at your hotel to see if something like that will be going on during your stay.
Linderhof, Oberammergau, the Wieskirche and Ettal (monastery) are not far and you could do several of them on the same day trip.
Have fun!
