We will drive from Dachau south and ultimately want to do Neuschwanstein Castle and Zugspitze... Would love recommendations for where to call "home base" in that area. Looking at a hotel in Hammersbach called Sentido. Anyone with knowledge of that town? Worried it may be a bit dull... not looking for museums, just good shops and a village that's worthy of walking around after dinner :-).
"Worried it may be a bit dull..." You are probably right. Hammersbach is a part of Grainau which has about 3,500 inhabitants. Hammersbach itself is a hamlet in beautiful surroundings, Garmisch-Partenkirchen being only a few kilometers away. Hammersbach is a stop on the Zugspitzbahn (Zugspitz railway) from Garmisch up the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammersbach_(Grainau) or (with more information and a picture, but in German) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammersbach_(Grainau) For more pictures click (in the German version) on the link to Grainau.
