Driving from Rieti/Terni to Amsterdam in January

12/07/2012 - 10:20

I've had great help with route/accommodation plotting for our drive out this December (Ilumuden-Cologne-Lucerne-Piacenza-Rieti) but we are wondering about changing the route back to Iljumeden (Amsterdam). Any thoughts on a route on the way back and thoughts on nice individual places to stay in the �� Alpes and Germany or Holland if we don't go back via Switzerland? Many thanks!

If you are using the Brenner to avoid Switzerland, I can highly recommend Merano in the sudtirol. It's Italy, but quintessentially Tyrolean. Apparently just over 50% of people speak German as their first language. If you want to stopover there, I have good recommendations for an hotel and a restaurant. And if you had a spare hour to visit the castle gardens, that's well worthwhile. TK
