Which airport are you coming from, since to mention the train..
spotting is an option..but check the flights table first..there are some dead times...and you will not see a lot..do you know the spotter places?
4/29: Deutsches Museum in the morning (opens at 9 and I'm going to be wide awake around 6, I'm sure), visit the Viktualienmarkt around lunchtime, then pick up a car and be on my way. As the museum in Dachau is open until 5 and the drive is short, I could go then. I'm sure I won't last more than two hours, but I kind of feel like I need to do this, even if it is for a short visit. Then drive to Regensburg for the night. That's about 150 km, all told.
Far too short for Deutsches Museum...the main building needs about 2 days to see all of it (whats your favourites?), then, since you are into aircrafts, it has separate aircraft museum
http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/fl...r-information/ in Oberschleissheim (25 min by car from the museum) which is definitely worth seeing and the third part is the transport museum
http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/ve...ation/concept/ with cars and trams etc. about 10min drive from the museum. You can buy a combined ticket and visit the three museums on different days..
Going to Dachau is surely worth it and Regensburg is nice too..take a night walk there..
4/30: Explore Regensburg and maybe Weltenburg. In any event, Rothenburg ob der Tauber would be my destination. Should be an easy enough drive to make in about three hours. (250 km, if I'm rounding up).
Exploring on a Sunday...well..I prefer Regensburg with open shops
Weltenburg is great, but can be crowdy on a sunday, especially if the weather is great and the beergarden is open..
5/1: Feels like there's more to do and see in Rothenburg than Regensburg, but I still don't think it would hold my attention until later than mid-afternoon. The drive to
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a bit longer (300 km), but I should still be able to make it in four hours or so. Could use advice on where to stop on the way. Maybe
Ulm? There's a bread museum there..
To be honest..I would skip Rothenburg.. far too touristy and crowdy..and since its May1st, could be that all shops and touristy places are closed..At least check that out first with their tourist office before going..
Driving down to Garmisch on that day should be easy peasy..no lorries on the Autobahn..Ulm cathedral is worth to look at..tallest church tower in the world
5/2-5/3: As Garmisch, Mittenwald, Oberammergau, Ettal and (maybe) Schloss Linderhof are all covered by less than 100 km and I'll have a full two days to explore, all I need now is to figure out how to organize my time around them and when to go to one of Tegernsee or Berchtesgaden (weather permitting, of course). That's 200 km or so (including the return trip to Munich) with Tegernsee, 400 with Berchtesgaden.
There is a great panaramic road near Berchtesgaden.well worth it if the weather is great
http://www.rossfeldpanoramastrasse.de/en/
but even driving from Garmisch towards Berchtesgaden is great..if you know where to drive
the whole trip seems overloaded...to much road..less enjoyment of the nature and scenery..
where are your hotels? Munich and Regensburg?
