We are planning a long weekend to Munich in the middle of May %26#39;06 and need advise on what to do on a Sunday. We have already visited the castles and Dachau and thought we would visit the Romantic Road. What is there? Is it worth a visit? Any other suggestions? Thank you!

I think that Neuschwanstein Castle and the walled town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber are two of Germany%26#39;s best sights. The Residenz in Wuerzburg is also a top sight on the Romantic Road. However, these places are a fair distance from Munich and you would spend considerable time traveling. Salzburg, Austria is more convenient to visit and is one of my favorite cities in Europe.

Take the train to Prien, about 56 minutes. Walk or take the old steam train (if is running by then) or the bus to Stock (about 15 minutes%26#39; walk), the landing pier for the boats to the Herrenchiemsee palace of King Ludwig II (of Neuschwanstein fame)There is a good restaurant shortly after you get off the boat, on your right up the hill; also cafeteria in the palace. Herrenchiemsee was Ludwig%26#39;s own palace of Versailles.
After viewing the palace and elaborate gardens, take the boat to the Fraueninsel. Nice old convent, with good restaurants and cafe and great view of the lake and mountains. You can also purchase some of the famous Chiemsee Likoer, a Benedictine liquor made by the nuns (in China?????). Then return by boat to Stock. Allow 4 hours for the whole trip, including lunch and coffee stops.
