You step into a leather-upholstered Mercedes and the city of Munich recedes — Bavarian fields flatten into a ribbon of highway and the Alps begin to rise, bold and gray at the horizon. The guide eases you toward Neuschwanstein’s Marienbrücke for the first iconic view; later the van threads narrow Tyrolean passes where wind and pine seem to push travelers forward.
