Hi

I am going to drive from Munich to Innsbruck on December 16 and
returinig on December 23.
My questions for you are:

-what is the most recommended route on December 16, I would like to
enjoy the scenery. No rush
-what is the best choice for the way back ? I am considering the fact
that the returnig date is close to the Christmas and the roads may be
busy at that time. I need to reach the Munich Airport by lunch time to
take off.

Thank you
NP

For some scenery, I suggest A95 towards Garmish-Partenkirchen, then turn
off on the B472 towards Bichl, then the B11 through Kochl and Kr�n to
Mittenwald. In Mittenwald look for a steep narrow road going up to
Leutasch, right behind the Austrian border. This is up around 1000
metres, should be ok without snow chains still if there has been no
recent snow. Drive to Seefeld and rejoin the main to down to Innsbruck.

Second attempt: take the Achenpass. It can be reached from Munich via Bad
T�lz or Tegernsee. You reach the Inn valley near Schwaz, from there it is
some 30km to Innsbruck. If you use the motorway in Austria, you need a
"pickerl" - a vignette.

Snow tyres are highly recommended, take chains with you if you want to be on
the safe side. If the weather is too bad, take the motorway via Kufstein.

Two options:

The left one via Salzburg Autobahn (only a short way) then follow
Tegernsee signs, pass this lake and Achensee lake, down into Inn
valley, turn right to Innsbruck. Avoid the austrian Autobahn, the road
is well and you need no toll sticker.

The right one via Mittenwald. I would take Garmisch Autobahn, leave it
at exit Sindelsdorf and change left to main road B11 via Benediktbeuern
(ancient Monastery, worth a view), lakes Kochelsee and Walchensee into
the mountains. At the end down the very steep Zirler Berg into Inn
valley and a short way left to Innsbruck. Watch out carefully to avoid
entering the Autobahn.The road suddenly is the Autobahn, with a small
exit way to the right. It's a trap, patrols are waiting there for
tourists! Penalty toll costs a fortune.

Then I would go back via Tegernsee. You come back via Salzburg Autobahn
which leads into the eastern Autobahn ring to the airport. Garmisch
Autobahn ends at the busy internal ring road.

I put "X-No-Archive: yes" in the header of my posting.

As you work over Google Groups with your webbrowser, simply put the
above words (without the quoteation marks) in the first line of your
posting. This will work as well.

On a long term, using an appropriate usenet software and posting via a
decent newsserver might even be a better idea. :-)
