Curious if anyone has reccomendations on things to do/see in Munich/Bavaria/Lauterbrunnen areas.
Munich: Cool little artist district with a boat railway bridge - https://maps.app.goo.gl/13Zjw2usCbvcsr1UA
Inner city surf wave with a great spectating spot - https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ha1EQBvRoG1dLoyw5
South of Munich:
Murnau is a beautiful town with great views of the alps, reachable via train, and there is a great resteraunt near protected wetlands I can recccommend - https://maps.app.goo.gl/m9317uf5j7qKw8ML6
Cheimsee is also beautiful, little islands with a castle on a lake and a beergarden - https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZbxWRT7cDh66nzbS7
Further into the Alps you can find Königsee which is stunning, has great hiking, and plenty of history - https://maps.app.goo.gl/6fXAN1KwP8PqmTHc7
If you're into snowsports then now is a great time to get into the mountains and rent some gear to have a fun day. For hiking it is probably better to wait for the snow to thaw and then do a hut to hut treck if you can.
As a note, I do not reccommend going to see the Disneyland Castle, a.k.a. Neuschwanstein. It'll involve lots of crowds, a rushed tour, and a mediocre experience overall.
Enjoy!
Zurich is excellent but expensive. You can do 3,4,5 days here especially if you plan a hike for one or two days up the alps.
For Bavaria i recommend a trip to Munich and then by train to nearby Salzburg in Austria. You really cant beat a bier keller and some paul anner, pretzels, and brautwerst and suarkraut, You should do 2-3 days in Munich and 1-2 days in Salzburg.
Both places are beautiful with fantastic food, beer, and museums.
Some of the lakes in southern part of Bavaria like Chiemsee (Fraueninsel)/Starnberg/Tegernsee have some charm.
I personally think Salzburg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen are special as the sit right at the foot of the alps.
Via Farrata is popular in the area if you’re into it.
Lucerne might be a bit far but the Swiss Museum of Transport was one of my favorite museums anywhere if you’re into civil engineering.
Good luck.
