Depends on what you like. If you’re into theme parks, “Europapark” is almost on the way and definitely worth a day.

Near Munich is also “Therme Erding” if you’re into saunas, fun water slides or pool bars. It’s a bit pricey but definitely worth it in my opinion.

If you’re into live music, there’s tons of festivals in summer with everything from huge festivals with big bands to small festivals with very specific types of music.

You want to take the A2? Bring something to read. 😉

I’m not sure I would really recommend this route at all. But it also depends on what are your goals, how long to you have.

However. This seems deeply inefficient and does not utilise the benefits of having a car.

If you want this route. You should use the train.

If you want to use a car. You probably shouldn’t use this route.

It is around 3 hours longer, but I would recommend to go from Munich to Strasbourg via Garmisch Patenkirchen, Lindau and Freiburg (Something like this [https://maps.app.goo.gl/smq2nTRf3uESk6mi8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/smq2nTRf3uESk6mi8)) . Going this route you’ll be able to see the German alps, including the highest peak in Germany, the Zugspitze, the beautiful lake of Constance (Bodensee) and the black forest. Three of the most beautiful parts of south Germany (in my opinion!). As for cities, you will skip Stuttgart and Karlsruhe (again, imo boring cities) and instead visit much smaller cities like Freiburg and Lindau. Freiburg is a very lively, young and vibrant city, whereas Lindau is beautifull little town on an island. This route will be much more nature focused and will skip bigger cities, if that’s ok with you!

On the first leg, from Strasbourg to Karlsruhe, I would suggest you don’t take the A5, but you take the B500 to Baden-Baden. To get to the B500 you can take the B28, or if you like a steep and twisty route: the L92. Personally I’d love that for a road trip.

Baden-Baden is a nice place to visit for a few hours and the route I suggest (ie through the Black Forrest) is about 5 trillion times nicer than the Autobahn.

I have a home in Strasbourg. A car rented in Germany will not have French Crit’Air sticker to legally enter Eurometropolis of Strasbourg Low Emissions Zone (Strasbourg + 32 surrounding towns), and cannot get this sticker on the spot. See area map — [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Strasbourg_Communaut%C3%A9.png.](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ExternalLinkInterstitial?redirectTo=https%3A%2F%2Fcommons.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FFile%3AStrasbourg_Communaut%25C3%25A9.png.) You will need to leave your car at Kehl and take Strasbourg Tram D from outside Kehl Bahnhof to Strasbourg.

You shouldn’t miss the Bodensee (Lake of Constance). Nice places there are Meersburg, Birnau, Lindau, Friedrichshafen or Konstanz.

From the Bodensee it’s an 2 hour drive to Stuttgart which is also worth a visit. When you are into cars, you should consider a visit in the Mercedes Museum or Porsche Museum.

I would avoid Stuttgart. Why not continue past Karlsruhe to Heidelberg? After that, drive up to Bingen and take the B9 up to Boppard and then cross over and visit Burg Eltz. Beautiful area and a fantastic castle to visit.
