Garmish is nice. about 45 min down A95. There is Linderhof, Neushwanstein, and the Zugspitze all close bye. Pick up some beer in Ettal (Ettaler beer). There is a monostary that has been brewing it since the 1300's. They sale it right across the street from it. I recomend the Dunkel Weis and Hella Weis. Best beer I have ever had (must be from the fresh mountain spring water). Oberammergau is near Linderhof and just past Ettal, and they are famous for their wood carvings. Innsbruck Austria is about 45 min from Garmisch. In Innsbruck there is the Swarovski crystal plant. They have a nice musuem with a store (wife will like it). Oh on the way to Innsbruck, from Garmisch, there is a motorcycle musuem on the border. If you go east from Munchen on A8 you can visit Berchtesgarten (the eagle nest is located in this area). Also off of A8 is Herrenchiemeese. Hope you have a great trip.

Thanks. I'll see what I can find out but everything keeps changing on this front.

And yes, I'm scheduled to be the first delivery at the Welt. Can't wait. In the interim, here's an brief article I wrote on the Welt.
