I think this should be under the "Talented Posting" headline.

Quite agree, but really you must go to Munich. Especially now, when the weather's hot and the beer gardens are roaring.

With the greatest of respect I suggest the ones that sound interesting in the guidebook you either just bought or accessed on-line.

Make life easy on yourself; Strasbourg and Oberkirch. About 30 minutes apart.

Or alternatively, the Finisterre region of Brittany, Perpignan, Lubeck and Garmisch.
