I am planning a trip to Munich this summer and would like to spend a few days out of the city. Does anyone have any erccomendations on places accessable by train that would be nice to spend two to three days in? I love staying in smaller picturesque towns.

Many cities near to Munich have small, picturesque town centers - Altstadt (old town). Regensburg and Salzburg are quite close by train and have very entertaining town centers with extensive pedestrian zones. Würzburg is a bit farther away but also has a very nice downtown, my favorite city in Deutschland. They are all easily seen on foot and have hotels near their centrally located train stations.

You can reach each with a Bayern-Ticket for about 18 euros for a single or 25 euros for a group of 5 of less.

Wouldn%26#39;t call Salzburg, Regensburg or Würzburg small towns. They have each over 100.000 inhabitants. But they are worth a visit.
Füssen + Neuschwanstein Castle

Mittenwald + Zugspitze

Rothenburg ob der Tauber

(during the day really busy with bus tourists)
or as alternatives Dinkelsbühl or Nördlingen

Agree with other poster on Mittenwald - small and beautiful.
Berchtesgaden isn%26#39;t too far away, but you%26#39;d be better with a car.
I like Prien am Chiemsee- although the lake is the attraction rather than the town.
And for the ultimate in picturesque, Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

Closer and easier to get to but no less out of the city are Starnberg and Herrsching both small lakeside towns accessible on S Bahn on S6 and S5 trains (about 40 mins from city I think ). My preference is Herrsching on Ammersee which you can explore via the ferries that run and has some nice eating places

Hi,
Smaller, picturesque town...I would say Mittenwald. We were there this October and April %26#39;05 and loved it. Very beautiful small town surrounded by mountains. It is also only 1/2 an hour by train to Garmisch, if you%26#39;re interested in going to the top of the Zugspitze. Mittenwald has a cable car also, the Karwendelbahn.
Fussen is also a beautiful town (were there twice also) with Ludwig%26#39;s Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau and the Tegelberg cable car and luge ride close by.
Either is an excellent choice, although I%26#39;d probably go with Mittenwald.

Thanks everyone. I think I have enough smaller places to fill a few trips into Munchen!!

Look for Earl Steinbicker%26#39;s %26quot;Daytrips Germany%26quot;. Almost all of the places listed above by the others have chapters in his book.
Mittenwald is best visited on any day but Sunday. Almost everthing is closed except a few restaurants and the cable car. Much more fun with a better selection of restaurants and the shops open.
