[net.travel] Tips for travel in Germany?

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

I will be travelling to Europe for the first time this fall,
and while I have a pretty good idea of where I want to go
and what I want to do, I thought I'd solicit my fellow net-landers
for some advice/suggestions.

I'm taking about 6 days to get from Salzburg to Frankfurt, during 
which time I would like to spend *some* time in Salzburg, Garmisch, 
Rothenburg, and Heidelburg. (I know, not long enough!) Any suggestions
out there as to where I should linger? Something I can put up with 
missing entirely? Places I'm ignoring that I *absolutely* shouldn't?

I will have a car, so I can be very flexible. (Maybe I should tell you
also that I'm 27, single, travelling alone, and while I appreciate
culture and scenic beauty, I really want to have FUN...e.g. I hear 
Heidelburg's got a whole section of town full of bars that go 
absolutely WILD!)

Any responses I get will be greatly appreciated. Respond via email or 
follow-up posting to the net; either way makes no difference to me, and 
either way I'll let you know how things go! (I don't leave til 9/21 though.)

Thanks in advance...

You shouldn't miss Rothenburg o. d. Tauber, a small 13th Century
town located in Bavaria. Completely surrounded by walls, this town
is in mint condition, virtually unchanged from the the Middle Ages
(Except, back then, they say, American tourists were few and far
between).
