My wife and I are going to spend our anniversary in Germany in May. We are flying into Berlin and out of Munich, and we have 5 days to get from one place to the other. What would be a good general route?
Important considerations:
- We love to experience German culture more-or-less as a German would experience it, and we don't feel particularly inclined toward extremely touristy areas. That's not to say we'll completely shun them though.
- We love the outdoors. Hikes are great.
- We could potentially spend some time in the Austrian Alps just south of Munich. Are there any small towns that would be good to visit where we can go on hikes, etc?
And here's a twist: My wife will not know where we're going between Berlin and Munich. I will be giving her a reverse geocache box which will only tell her the general direction we need to travel in, to facilitate some meandering and exploring. She only knows we'll end up in Munich eventually.
EDIT:
The whole vacation will be longer; only the 5 days in the middle are unplanned. We'll have plenty of opportunity to see Berlin and Munich outside of those 5 days.
Best Answer
In the Alps you can find many to go on hikes like:
- Nassereith - It's 135 km away from Munich, you can see some photos here
- Hochkönig - It's 200km away from Munich and 80 km from Salzburg. It's not very close to Munich but Salzburg is very beautiful city and worth seeing. Also some photos from Hochkönig
On the way from Berlin to Munich you can also visit Nuremberg, Leipzig or Dresden. Of course Munich and Berlin are also worth seeing and you will not have enough time to see all the cities so you have to decide which of them would be interesting for you.

Answer 2
Leipzig and Dresden are obvious stops along this road. As you have already been there you might consider something different.
I suggest that you go to the Spreewald, and then to Nürnberg. This way you will be able to combine nature and a city. You love the outdoors, then Spreewald is interesting. It is a destination for summer and winter holidays. Each season has its charm. Nürnberg is a really interesting city, and outside the Christmas period it is not too touristic.
I think that in both these places there is ample room for geocaching and alike.
Answer 3
If you like outdoors and don´t mind a 2 hour travel southeast of Munich than I can recommend Berchtesgaden to visit including the Watzmann, a famous mountain in that area.
If you preferer it more on the way from Berlin to Munich then I can also mention the Ore Mountains, that´s located in a peaceful and romantic scenery at the border of Czech Republic and Germany. You will find some good hiking !
