I have at least 50 charming places like this to visit (made quite a few already) but added Miltenberg to the list. Of course, it makes you ponder on how much beauty that was lost in WWII...

Of the places you plan to visit - we have been to these and really recommend them: Regensburg and Nürnberg are easy day trips from München.

@@travelsmartseniors I hike through Germany, a little now and a little then - usually around a week each time. I go home for a spell and then return to continue. I covered once going north to south and started a new one south to north along another route. Going on foot you get to see the back alleys and go through so many places that no one has ever heard of. E.g. the little village of Archshofen on the Tauber, which greeted me with the sign "Founded in 807" (not much left from those days though) or Osterwieck, where a local told me theirs was the first church ever to be _built_ as a protestant one. Etc, etc. So much to discover.

If you'd like to immerse yourself in France's historical depths and prefer authenticity to flashy tourist brochures, come to Burgundy. You'll see, it'll work its magic, without fuss or artifice. Like so many French provinces, often overlooked in shrunken guidebooks aimed at the time-poor traveler, the towns of Dijon, Beaunes and Mâcon, in the heart of sublime landscapes, offer you the chance to experience a genuine and unforgettable emotion. And it's a Breton, retired in the Comtat Venaissin, who invites you to get off the beaten track!

I spent my second night this past Oktoberfest in the Ochsenbraterai along with my wife and her girlfriend and we cannot recommend it enough! We happened there during the busy Deutschen Einheit holiday and this was both a bad and happy happenstance - we had a tough time at first finding a big tent where we could find a place (struck out at 4 other places), but one of the waitresses at the ochsenbraterai saw my wife craning her neck, asked her how many she had with her, told her “follow me!” And bulldozed her way through and found us a spot right in the middle of the floor! She was great and we were probably there for 7 hours having a great time! Spaten is not usually my go-to German big beer, but we went through buckets that night. People were awesome, beer was great, the tent was beautiful, and the band and show they put on was amazing!
