Germany's oldest tourist road runs 484km from Lindau on Lake Constance to Berchtesgaden near the Austrian border. It's not a single-drive road — plan two or three days. The highlights are the sections between Oberammergau and Garmisch, and the Rossfeld Panoramastraße near the eastern end. Surface is generally excellent. The road passes through farmland, lakeside villages, and genuine alpine terrain without ever climbing above 1,700m. Wide enough for any car. Traffic is light outside school holidays. A proper touring road, not a sprint.
