We took advantage of the fact that my parents were on vacation for a while at the beginning of October and borrowed their car in order to go on some short weekend trips. One weekend we went to the famous castles of
King Ludwig, Schloss Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein. From there, we stopped briefly at the
Wieskirche and then went to visit my Aunt in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. On the way back, we went by two baroque/rococo monasteries,
Kloster Benediktbeuern and
Kloster Andechs.

The following weekend, we visited two towns on the Romantic Road,
Nördlingen and
Dinkelsbühl. Then we went to
Nürnberg, where we spent the night. The following day we drove to
Regensburg, where we visited the city as well as
Walhalla. Note: in a very brief survey of Nürnberger and Regensburger sausages, the Regensburg ones came out slightly ahead.

Finally, we returned the car, but on the way stopped by another two monasteries,
Kloster Maulbronn and
Kloster Lorsch (which was unfortunately being restored) and a made a quick stop at
Worms Cathedral.
