Setting Off: The Scenic Romantic Road

Begin your adventure from Munich as you board a comfortable air-conditioned coach for a scenic journey along Germany’s Romantic Road, the oldest and most picturesque holiday route in the country. Wind through charming Bavarian villages and landscapes that showcase rolling hills, half-timbered houses and ancient towns unchanged over centuries.

Exploring Harburg Castle

Upon arrival at Harburg Castle, step inside one of southern Germany’s largest and remarkably intact medieval fortresses. With your expert English-speaking guide, uncover the fascinating stories carved into the castle’s stone walls, from the impressive Knights’ Hall to the curious Witch’s Tower where legend tells of a woman accused of witchcraft. Wander through the atmospheric courtyards and ramparts, taking in the views and the echoes of the past. Learn about daily life in historic Bavaria and how the castle protected those along crucial trade routes centuries ago. Audio guides are available in several languages for a personal touch to your visit.

Journey to Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber

After your castle tour, travel onward through the countryside to Rothenburg ob der Tauber. This town is renowned as a superbly preserved medieval enclave, with winding lanes and timbered buildings that appear plucked from a fairytale. The city walls remain largely intact, and you have the chance to explore their towers and gates, imagining life in an era of knights and merchants.

Enjoy free time to wander on your own — perhaps discovering the Christmas Museum, savoring the traditional pastry called Schneeball, or browsing quaint boutiques. This is your opportunity to immerse yourself in Rothenburg’s unique ambiance, from the vibrant market square to hidden corners off the main paths.

Return Through Bavarian Countryside

After a fulfilling day, regroup for a relaxing journey back to Munich, passing through the lush Hallertau region, known for its hop fields and scenic views. Your guide ensures a smooth return, answering any remaining questions and sharing more about the sights you encountered.
