Today you pick up your bike in the morning and head out to see your first castle. Through the bavarian countryside and into the foothills of the Alps to the tourism hot spot of Neuschwanstein. It's worth braving the crowds to see "Mad king Ludwigs"  creation to honor what he thought a proper castle should look like. From there we head over the hills into the region of Baden-Würtenberg

This morning decide with your group, will you go see the castles of Hohenzollern or Hohentübingen, or both on you way through Schwarzwald to the French region of Alsace. And what will be your lunch strategy? A local Imbiss for currywurst, fresh sandwiches like the locals eat at a bakery or the ever popular dönerkebap. Not that you won't be tempted by local beer gardens and weinstube. You'll learn by eating. Tonights hotel is in the cuter than kittens french Alsace town of Riquewihr where you'll be tempted by flamenküchen, a french dish that looks strangely familiar. 

Today is honking huge castles day. Enjoy and early french breakfast and chase the morning mist off the vineyards on your way to Haut-Koenigsbourg. This massive castle has seen numerous battles for eight centuries before being fully restored in the 1900s under the direction of Kaiser Willhelm the second. Then head into the hills of the Alsace region and cross back into to Germany to ride along the banks of the Mosel river to Reichsburg Cochem. Perhaps there's time for a tour of it today or perhaps you'll see it the next morning. Tonight you stay on the banks of the Mosel river, see everyone at the beer garden.

We take the back route and pop over the hills to ride along the banks of the Rhein. There's little castles everywhere here and Maus will tell you why. We've selected one of our favorites that looks like the ultimate royal honeymoon spot. This is also your best chance for a weinstube visit for lunch and Cat will teach you why he always says "Trocken" while Maus says "Halbtrocken". We try to bypass the Frankfurt traffic to get to our final hotel on the road. It's a bit touristy but it is adorable and that's the town frozen in time of Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

It's our final day on the road, stop off in Nuremberg if you like. Take the back roads all the way to Munich or hit the A-9 and blast it full throttle for a while. Perhaps a bit of both. Tonight we'll do what German's do, eat greek food, yes it's very popular in Germany
