My wife & I will be taking a vacation primarily in Bavaria, Germany, but we have since expanded it to include Colmar, France and northern Switzerland. We'll have a rental car and plan to be in Switzerland from the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 1 through the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 4.
We enjoy seeing natural sights such as going to the tops of mountains (via cable car, rail, and such; not hiking); lakes & valleys with towering mountains, waterfalls, and such; strolling & window shopping in old towns, whether in cities or smaller locales; flea markets; and good restaurants.
Based on our time frame, we have the ability to visit perhaps one and possibly two of the following:
Zurich
Lucerne
Schaffhausen
Stein am Rhein
and perhaps other sites near the above that people recommend
Traveling as far south a Lucerne would be our limit before we need to turn north and head for the Munich, Germany area.
Thoughts? Thank you in advance.
