What do people think of Herrenchiemsee and Nymphenburg Castles? Both seem fairly close to Munich. Unless Linderhof is too hard to get to via trains that seems like a must see. I know some of these places would be nicer to see in the spring but you can't have everything. As long as they aren't close I can make do.
Garmisch sounds interesting (I know we've gotten off track from SW Germany but that is ok). I wouldn't mind someplace with snow and maybe a romantic sleigh ride or something similar. Last time I went I had months to research but this trip came up quickly.
Any suggestions for a nice but not outrageously expensive hotel in Munich that is close to a train station?
