Excellent guide to seeing Germany from behind the wheel

This review is for the 5th edition, 2002 printing. A newer edition is coming out: 7th edition to be released on March 20, 2006. Excellent guide to seeing Germany with a sports car or a BMW motorcycle. You will enjoy some great driving tours and routes through this historical region of Deutschland. Frommers has recently come out with more "Best-Loved Driving Tours" series ... guides that are not very inexpensive, but are very well researched and quite comprehensive. One will have plenty of driving tours and routes to chose from, whether you like arts and museums, scenic roads and breathtaking views, urban towns and shopping, or just want to experience a regione's culture and life. Unlike the other Frommer guides that are fatter and heavier, this little book gives you not too many specifics on lodging or eating. It is geared strictly for the person behind the wheel and her or his passengers. I have had a great experience using this guide and will recommend it to anyone who can afford it. Also, you might want to check to see if your library carries it and check it out for the duration of your visit abroad. When I backpacked 4 months through Europe I had a copy of the Lonely Planet for Europe (a thick and heavy book) because it covered more cities and esoteric towns, a ripped chapters of all the international youth hostals Europe of the countries I visited, and as primary guide for nominal cities and capitals I used Frommers (ripped the book and kept only chapters of countries planning to visit - so I can keep the weight down).

This is a very reader-friendly, informative guide.

My wife and I know Germany pretty well, but this guide was an excellent addition for our next trip there. It is very upbeat and informative, with just the right amount of detail.

Extremely useful guide.

An extremely useful guide. We managed to followed most of the tours in the Bavaria region and picked up on some along the Romantic Road. These tours take you both on and off the beaten track, with recommended stops etc, whilst avoiding heavy traffic. I believe that without this guide we would have missed many of the smaller off the beaten track areas, which made the trip so much more enjoyable.
