At the end of our trip in September we'll be making the trip from Augsburg to Frankfurt before the flight home. We don't have a set time where we have to be in Frankfurt since our flight isn't until the following morning so we are hoping to make a stop or two on the journey to get a glimpse of this region. Since we'll be spending a few days in southern Bavaria we were hoping to see something a little different on this day-trip, perhaps some of the Romantic Road, or something along the Rhine. I have 2 main questions:
- What places are worth a stop? We're open to big-name stops like Rothenburg ob der Tauber or Heidelberg but we'd also be interested in smaller, quieter diamonds in the rough. They're just harder to find if you don't know where to look.
- Should we even bother with trying to do this stretch by car or just rely on Germany's excellent rail network? If a car makes it easier or gives us access to can't miss spots we can do it, but we are no stranger to the rail and would be just fine letting someone else get us from Point A to Point B.
