As this is
a tour through a larger part of Europe, the number of sights in each country is limited. The
major purpose of the tour is just to see what can be found along the road -
and eventually reach Belgium. The sights starts a bit down in Germany, and then
the route leads me to Luxembourg at first. Later I will be back to see the German Alps
from Liechtenstein.
Those in italic is "Plan B" options. The numbers to the left refers to the map
below, and are the page numbers in the Lonely Planet book I used while planning:
