Göppingen, Germany - Schwäbisch Hall, Germany

 Going from Göppingen we head further north on highway 297 to the small town of Schwäbisch Gmünd, then transfer onto highway 298 to get to our final destination of Schwäbisch Hall. Schwäbisch Hall was founded in about 1204, and was a major producer of coins and salt. there are many activities in Schwäbisch Hall, some of the main activities are hiking, seeing the old town hall and saint Michael cathedral merge  is on the top of the list. One great perk of this city is that everything is relatively cheap compared to other parts of Germany. One thing about the entire region is that they have their own major dialect called Swabian. Schwäbisch Hall even has their own American Football Team called the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns.

Ulm,Germany- Göppingen, Germany

Göppingen, Germany is a beautiful little town outside of Stuttgart, and to get there from Ulm all you have to do is head north west on highway 10 and highway 466.



when you get into Göppingen, there are several musts in my opinion. First thin you should do is go visit the Märklin Museum. While it is a small museum, it will take you through the production of the Märklin trains from start to finish. The second best attraction in Göppingen is the Kunsthalle, which is a while small, very fulfilling art gallery.

Oberstdorf, Germany-Ulm, Germany

The drive from Oberstdorf to Ulm takes you further north east past Munich. Taking highway 19 north, connecting to 7 north will bring you through two other cities, Kempten and Memmingen. Kempten has many fun things to do, but one of their greatest features is their Achaologischer Park Cambodunum.

 

Getting off at north 300, Memmingen is the next town on the way to Ulm. As is in most cities in Germany, stopping by a local brewery is a great way to experience a big part of the town; the beer. Memmingen has about 3 main breweries, but one that stands out is  Meckatzer Löwenbräu Benedikt Weiß KG. One of the best local brews is the Memminger.

Continue up highway 28 and you will find yourself in the beautiful German town of Ulm.

Saint Gallen, Switzerland to Oberstdorf, Germany

To get to Oberstdorf you take highway 7 which connects to highway 13, then take highway 203 through Fußach and Bregenz. In Bregenz for some authentic Austrian food you can go to Gaststätte zum Goldenen Hirschen.












If you feel like doing some more outdoor activities in Bregenz, 5 Kilometers south there are walking and biking trails surrounding the Rhine River in the Rheindelta park.


















Heading south on highway 190 to 200 and finally onto 205 you head out of Austria and into Germany. Once on the Germany side you can take Balderschwang through the mountains until you hit highway 19 going south to Oberstdorf. Once in Oberstdorf there are many things to do outdoors, especially at this time of year. As in a lot of Austria and Lichtenstein, Bavaria is about freezing, and there is a lot of good alpine skiing to be done.
There is the Heini Klopfer Ski jump, Allgäu am Söllereck Climbing Park, and Sleigh rides.

Zürich, Switzerland to Saint Gallen, Switzerland

My trip starts in Altstadt Zürich.
There are many things you can do in Zürich, but in an effort to absorb the Swiss culture I am stopping by all the places tourists do not often go. In Altstadt I'm going to the neighborhood Kreis 1 where there is a Lokal called Bierfalken, which serves all regional Swiss foods as well as German and Austrian dishes.

  Leaving Zürich to go to Oberstdorf, Germany through St. Gallen, Switzerland I take A7 east. this is going to take me to the city of St. Gallen in Switzerland. By staying on A7 east you can drive right alongside the Swiss lake of Bondensee for a beautiful drive.


 Upon arriving in Saint Gallen you can see that this is a smaller town hidden away in Switzerland, and holds many treasures.


  One treasure is a popular local brew called Schwarzer Bär Bier, which I enjoyed at a lokal called Birreria Bierladen.
