Germany’s efficient autobahn chauffeurs us along its western border towards our Scandinavian adventure and subsequently welcomes us back to a blend of Berlin’s modern architecture and Bavaria’s charm.
Our European road trip is unexpectedly accelerated with the gift of high-speed, well-maintained roadways and the clockwork reliability of their impeccably clean, innovative rest stops.
An expedient trek through the prairie-like countryside cuts into a dense forest before ushering us through the tunnel into an immediate, unexpected vista. A showcase of modern city architecture: Berlin.
Then south through Munich, pausing amongst the rolling hillsides of Bavaria with its grand Neuschwanstein Castle, picturesque villages adorned with overflowing flower boxes and lederhosen-clad farmers tending their fields.
