  Outdoor activities

  You are not far from the Alps, which are great for skiing or hiking. The famous lakes of Ammerssee, Starnberg, and Chiemsee are also good for getting out on the water with a kayak or taking a boat trip.

• 

  Culture

  The Marienplatz is one of the must-visit historic buildings, and it has a famous Glockenspiel. There is also the Nymphenburg palace, which has an English garden, which is the perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon.

• 

  Food and drink

  We recommend finding somewhere that serves Weisswurst, a German white sausage you won’t find in many other places worldwide. You will also pass through lots of towns on your campervan journey with local street markets that you visit. The Germans are also known for their love of beer, so try some local ones you have never heard of before.

Best Campervan routes from Munich

Munich to Neuschwanstein Castle
Take the 120km drive to Neuschwanstein Castle. The drive starts on the A96 motorway and goes through the Bavarian countryside. When you get to Landsberg am Lech, take the B17, also known as the romantic road to the castle.

The castle is one of the most photographed in the world and looks like something out of a fairytale. It sits high on a hill and has inspired stories such as Sleeping Beauty Castle. Alpsee Lake is nearby and worth calling while you are in the area.

Munich to the Bavarian Forest

Along the way, you will pass small Bavarian towns that will make you feel like you have gone back in time. We recommend you stop at the town of Deffendorf; then, take the B533, which leads into the heart of the Bavarian Forest. It's the perfect place to relax, get away from it all, and be at one with nature.
