My husband and I are trying to flesh out our itinerary a bit and would love your suggestions. We have 14 days total (that includes our international flights to/from the east coast of the US) and we are trying to get a mix of things. We're going late September 2019, on purpose, for Oktoberfest. We are up for pretty much everything, I'd be happy running around, eating sausage and gawking at things all day. Trying to not go too crazy and Amazing Race with it but we are not opposed to a up early/late to bed adventure. We plan on taking mostly rail but aren't opposed to getting a car when/if needed.
Fly into Zurich (possible overnight here, 'cause jet lag)
3 nights Interlaken area (will post about this is on the Switzerland board as well)
2 nights Freiburg/Staufen/Southern Black Forest area
** this is the one I'm really not sure on, we'd love to do some hiking, thermal baths, eat some food, maybe a small castle?? I picked southern Black Forest because it seems to be make better travel sense.
3 nights Munich (mid-week, 1st week-ish of Oktoberfest - As long as we get to the fest and see Alte Pinakothek I'm cool)
1 night Rothenburg ob der Tauber (guilty pleasure/to do our shopping and such)
- stop over in Wurzburg (if possible to literally take a pic in front of the Siebold museum because apparently the guy is an ancestor of my husbands family - Americanized as Sypolt. You can see how that got messed up).
Fly out of Frankfurt
