After storing my stuff in Germany for the last couple years I finally got some time off from work to do some real travelling. I convinced my parents to fly over and my wife and I took them siteseeing for a couple weeks. We started in Kaiserslautern and took a couple day trips to places like Trier, Bernkastel, Heidelberg, and Stuttgart. Then the long round trip to Prague, Salzburg, and Neuschwanstein with some stops in between. Too bad there aren't 4 seats in the 914. It would have been better for me.

The first pic is on the A6 towards Tier. The best part is the view of the huge bridges the Germans like to build.

Numbers 4 and 5 are of Heidelberg. Inside the castle there is a huge wooden barrel that was used for wine. It is 2 stories tall and holds 250,000 liters. I couldn't get a good picture of it in the dark room.

Next is Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart. It is sitting on a huge hill overlooking the city and is a popular site for weddings.

For the long trip we went to Prague first. My wife is Czech so we had a good guide around the city. I found an old Skoda while we were walking around. The Czechs like to use old cars and drive people around for siteseeing. I saw a bunch of old cars from around the globe while we were there just for siteseeing.

After Prague we drove to Salzburg. After driving across Austria, I have to say it is one of the nicest countries I have been to. We didn't stay in Salzburg. It turns out is was much cheaper to stay in Germany near Berchtesgaden. The first pic is the view from our hotel in Germany and the second is the Salzburg castle. The third pic is of the Koenigsee in Germany. It is a huge lake in the mountains with a couple towns along the shore that you can only get to by boat.

And last but not least are the Neuschwanstein and Koenigschlosser castles. Everybody knows the first one, but the second one is right next to the first and still pretty nice. The last picture is the best picture I got of the Austrian Alps.

Nice pics, beautiful countyside, great roads. thanks for sharing your experience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

BTW, I'd think those photos would make Andy homesick for der Vaterland.

Cool, now I have an idea of what I get to go see! I haven't been to the Schloss in Stuttgart yet. Did you make it to the Porsche museum while you were in Stuttgart? Small but nice and free!

Next time I go on a driving tour it will be in the 914. I had my parents with me so I had to take the wife's Honda Civic. It does pretty good but I don't like driving it. Gustl, Next time I am in Austria I will let you know.

Thanks for the pics. I visited the exact same list of towns when I was a military brat. Throw in a pic of Nurenburg, Lake Garmisch, snf the Olympic ski jump, and that would round out the list...

The background in this picture shows vinyards on the steep slopes above the river. It would take a real mountaineer to tend these vines...
