Servus, Bavaria!

Aperolis first roadtrip in 2025: via the Swabian Alb to the south of Bavaria. A long weekend with sunshine in the baggage. It’s so good to be back, this time with hubby onboard. Perfect weather, stunning scenery & landscape, servus beautiful Bavaria!

Cruising along the German Alpin Road close to the Austrian border & sometimes crossing to Austria by accident: castles, the most beautiful lakes, Bavarian food including daily beer garden visits & a concert. We had a blast. Bavaria is very beautiful.

Retro style A/C. Works 💪🏻 we had 27C degrees.

The most important gauge: counting kilometers electronically since the manual fuel gauge is not reliable. 320km is the magic number. Better fill up earlier… 😉

Good night, Berchtesgadener Land! Known far and wide for its myth-enshrouded mountains, rolling hills and idyllic Alpine meadows.

Surrounded by those beautiful mountains 🏔️

An active morning by racing up to 1600m altitude… and later down again. Aperoli is in good shape.

Nowadays a panorama street only. So much fun.

The most beautiful road in the Bavarian Alps: from lush Alpine meadows, gently rolling hills and verdant forests to craggy peaks, romantic valleys and sparkling lakes.

Always a good idea to stop at a beer garden for a break 🥰

Passing through Bayrischzell 💚 (been skiing here before)

You have to come and see the beautiful panorama yourself!

Arrived in Füssen, the gateway to Neuschwanstein Castle or where the German Alpine Road meets the Romantic Road.

Neuschwanstein Castle, inspiration for Disney Castle and first time visit for hubby.

Ludwig II built Neuschwanstein Castle, a stone medieval holy-grail dream-come-true, and a refuge for the king far away from court ceremonies and government obligations.

Bavaria without white sausage breakfast? Never!

Allgäu Life!

Munich. The Pixies. Again. Last seen in Charleston, USA many years ago. A Christmas gift. Listened to their new album all weekend long (and like the old songs much better).

Besides many gas stops, fixing a blinker and refilling oil… all went smooth until… TODAY.

The real adventure started on the way home. Aperoli doesn’t like rain. What was planned as an easy 2.5hrs via Autobahn kind of trip… ended up on the sideway of the A8, followed by pushing (!!!) the car with me inside steering it to the next Autobahn exit ~500m.

Great job, hubby!!! Calling ADAC. Trying it again after 1hr waiting for ADAC to arrive… tried it off Autobahn… and succeeded. 3.5hrs later we are home safe & sound. Never a dull moment with Aperoli!
