Southern Germany’s Romantic Road (Romantische Straße) is a picturesque 350km route through the forests and mountains of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Its northern endpoint is Würzburg, a wine-region city known for the Residenz, an 18th-century baroque palace with a Tiepolo fresco. In the south it ends at Füssen, in the foothills of the Alps, near King Ludwig II’s iconic Neuschwanstein Castle.
