A friend and I are traveling to Germany in early Sept. We will be in Munich for a couple of days and are then renting a car.
My latest thought is this - after picking up the rental car in Munich, I was thinking of driving to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and spending the night there. Then the next day, drive down towards the Füssen area to see the sights there, and spend the night (or perhaps 2 nights).
At first, I was planning on us staying in Füssen, but then saw Rick Steve's chapter on Reutte, Austria, which seemed like a nice alternative. However, I've since seen some posts here that indicate a lot of travelers aren't crazy about the town.
The problem is that my friend really wants to spend at least a period of time (even a half day, or one night) in Austria, so I'm trying to figure out how to do that.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a place to base ourselves in for 1-2 nights in that area? Preferably some place either in Austria or conveniently located to an interesting Austrian town?
