Hi,
Traveling by car between Colmar France and Fussen, Germany. GPS directions give me a route mostly thru Switzerland or a route mostly thru the lower portion of the Black Forest. Does anyone have an opinion on which way to go? It’s about 4 hours either way and we would like to see some cool things on the way to break up the drive. Thank you

I’d do the drive through Germany (Freiburg im Breisgau-Titisee-Friedrichshafen, etc.) for a couple reasons. There are no tolls on that route and you wouldn’t have to buy the vignette to drive through Switzerland on its interstate type road.

The German option will be both cheaper (no tolls, less gas) and more scenic (Black Forest crossing, perhaps Bodensee north shore too but I am not sure how well you see it from the road since new bypasses were built). Lindau is a cool stop for a break.
