The Fantastic Road links some of the most beautiful towns and attractions in Baden-Württemberg. Seven places, each different in character and worth a journey in its own right, make a trip along the 250-mile/400-kilometer-long Fantastic Road an unforgettable experience: Weinheim and Baden-Baden, the wine villages Breisach and Gengenbach, and the pittoresque Mainau Island at Lake Constance are just a few of the highlights. After passing through the Black Forest and Lake Constance region, you will stop at Hohenzollern Castle, the ancestral home of German emperors. The route ends in the university town of Tübingen. To put it simply, this route is just fantastic!
