Road tripping in Germany - 2 Nuremberg to Penzberg

From Nuremberg we drove to Penzberg which was about 220kms, just 2 ½ hours away, where we had

booked an AirBnB for a week. 

It was a wonderful drive on the Autobahn again!

The reason we did this was 2 fold. 1) We wanted to stay in a small town in Germany as it would be a different experience and 2) Do day trips to Munich, Neuschwanstein castle, Füssen, Eibsee lake and Augsburg from Penzberg.

Penzberg is nestled in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, making it a picturesque town with beautiful natural surroundings.

It is also notable for hosting one of the major facilities of the pharmaceutical and life sciences company, Roche. The Roche Diagnostics division in Penzberg is a key center for research, development, and production of diagnostic systems and reagents. This has a significant economic impact on the town and the region.

The day we reached Penzberg, we drove to a beautiful lake just 5 kms away in Iffeldorf, in the afternoon. It was gorgeous!

During a walkabout in Penzberg we found this sculpture.
