I’m putting a trip together, 17 days around May day, from Rotterdam in the general direction of Austria.
This is our first trip east of the Rhine and having limited time to wander I’d like to ask the Fun community for ideas of best stop points…
Obviously will go via Germany, probably touring in one direction and going relatively non-stop the other.
Would there be enough variety in S Germany not to bother going further?
Switzerland seems too perfect and expensive. Is Czech too far/ too hard?

For Context:
- Normally we are perfectly happy to use Stelplatz / Aires / or wild (I know not allowed in Austria), or prefer minimal farm sites to busy “resort style” enterprises.
- We have a small Ducato campervan, and I’m pretty fearless getting it places,
but we don’t have bikes, scooter or toad, so I need to get near the destination. Only 5.4m long so car parks without height barriers are OK. - Jan has had a hip replacement and whilst we’re good for c6mile walks, much after that will be painful (for both or us ;-) )
- Our German language skills are negligible.
- with access to modest mountain activities /walks / views, either from the van, or via public transport (inc cable car etc). High pastures and views would be nice.
- Cultural locations: Best cities/towns/ castles/museums/galleries that also fit this transport remit?
- How busy or pre-booked will it be?
Are there some areas that will be too popular to want to bother with?
