Before we started our Viking Cruise, we decided to spend a few days in Munich. One of our favorite places to bike. We had so much fun exploring the English Gardens and the city streets. We had even more fun hopping on a train and heading to Mittenwald, one of the most beautiful towns in the world! Once again, we stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn hotel and found the amenities suitable with easy access to the Munich East train station.

We just can’t say enough good things about the idyllic Bavarian town of Mittenwald. The mountains, the not too crowded streets, the painted buildings, and of course the Quark Kuchen (German cheese cake) to name a few!

After a few days of biking and exploring we were ready to start the next leg of our journey, a tour with Viking on the Elbe River.
