To get to the start of our bike and boat holiday in Austria we had to drive across Netherlands and Germany. I wasn't looking forward to the 600 miles but, in the end, it was surprisingly nice with no dramas once I got reacquainted with the German driving style which is very fast but courteous. The standard speed on autobahns is 80mph but there are stretches with no speed limit so a careful eye has to be kept on your mirrors before you pull out. We took 2 days driving 400 miles stopping at Wurzburg overnight, no images of this lovely city. From Wurzburg it was only 200 miles so we drove down quieter country roads rather than taking the autobahn. First stop Rothenburg ob der Tauber with its beautiful medieval town centre.
I spent some time removing the cars and the tourists from this shot
Back to the car through the town walls and across the dry moat
A few miles on to Dinkelsbuhl, another walled town, if you look at the tower you will see Rapunzel's hair hanging down. (Tangled for the Disney obsessed)
The onto Passau where we stayed for the night prior to embarking on our boat. This is looking across the river Inn, the Danube is 100yds behind.
