Oberammergau is a picturesque fairytale village in the Bavarian Alps. It has a tradition of painting colourful murals on the facades of the houses, shops and public buildings which are fascinating to look at. All the murals are religious or fairy-tale themed.

Well, we didn’t think it could get any better but Mittenwald was one of our favourites. Again it's well known for its colourful painted houses, its charming cobbled streets and mountain landscapes.

Füssen is at the end of the Romantic Strasse in southern Bavaria (or the beginning if you are travelling in the less usual direction). This 700-year-old city is such a pretty and picturesque little town with the Alps rising behind it and set between two lakes. It’s a great base to visit the nearby castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau.

Wieskirche in Steingaden & Neuschwanstein Castle

The outside reveals nothing of the glorious and striking interior – You are taken aback by the amazing artistry it’s just incredible. The ceiling is fantastic as it is an optical illusion. It appears to be rounded but in fact it is flat.

Chris — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 18:01:19 +0000

Our next stop along the Romantic Road was the very beautiful walled town of Dinkelsbuehl which is about 30 miles south from Rothenburg. Again what makes it special is its wonderful fairy-tale visions of the numerous colourful and historic half-timbered buildings and massive churches.
