Two 2020 excursions postponed due to Covid have been rescheduled for 2022. The first ends in Munich, Germany 10 days before the second begins in Reykjavik, Iceland. Rather than fly back to the states and go through jet lag twice, we are piecing together a trip on our own. We will not rent a car so will depend on trains or local busses/tours.
From Munich, we will take the train to somewhere in the southern Black Forest area, possibly Offenbach or Freiburg im Breisgau. We will arrange a driver tour one day and possibly try the local trains a second day.
After Germany, we want to go to Switzerland. We will train down to Basel and then train to??? This is where we need help. We want to end up 8 days later in Zurich because we can fly nonstop from there to Reykjavik. We are interested in picturesque, historic towns, possibly Lucerne or Interlaken, maybe Bern. The Matterhorn (Zermatt?) seems interesting but that's way south and, I understand, very weather dependent.
Any suggestions very welcome!
