Things to see on drive from Munich to Frankfurt

Hi, my daughter and I will be driving from Frankfurt to Munich and then back to Frankfurt the last weekend in February. We only have Saturday and Sunday to visit Munich and surrounding. My thoughts are to take a tour to Salzburg on Saturday and then drive to Fussen (for the castles) before starting back to Frankfurt. Can you advise please things to do and see on the drive from Fussen to Frankfurt? From what I%26#39;ve read we would want to drive the Romantic Road, so if you could point out some sights along that stretch not to miss I would greatly appreciate it.

For a few days Munich, Salzburg and Fuessen are a fairly long way away, and you wouldn%26#39;t have much time to enjoy yourselves, you%26#39;ll be doing a lot of driving. You might limit yourself to the Rhine gorge NW of Frankfurt, or some of the Romantic Road.

The highlights of the Romantic Road are the Residence in Wuerzburg, the walled medieval town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and Neuschwanstein Palace by Fuessen. The Romantic Road isn%26#39;t romantic at all, just some places along it, so there is no real need to drive it to see the highlighhts, just use the A7 autobahn which kind of parallels it as it is much faster than a two-lane road. A short distance off of the A7 are also Ulm with its record height church spire, Ottobeuren with a beautiful church that contains more beautiful Baroque religious items than can be easily comprehended, and the Steiff Museum in Giengen who invented the teddy bear.

Although I would never recommend visiting many places on the Romantic Road in summer because of all of the foreign tourist hordes, in February there will be few of them and Neuschwanstein in the snow is lovely.
