The drive from Fussen to the next campsite was a retrace of our steps. We stopped for a meal in a gasthof near Lake Constance and then headed uptowards the black forest. The stop in Bad Durrheim was a camper stop as we just needed a quick over night stop.

This was the morning we changed countries, We packed up, picked up some more diesel (slightly cheaper in Austria) and drove in to Germany. We were going to doubleback on ourselves slightly as we wanted to see the castle that inspired Walt Disney for sleeping beauty.

We decided that the children were not up to going around the actual castle so sa...

Back in to the van and a quick drive to Hopftgarten were we would be spendin...
