Romantic Road - Day 3

The previous night we managed to see all the sights in Danauworth so we left in the morning towards the largest city on the Romantic Road, Augsburg. The city is one of Germany’s oldest (around 2000) and has probably the oldest housing project for the poor. Apparently today, you can still rent an apartment for less than 500 euros a month in the Fuggerei, but there’s a catch. You have to pray for the soul of Jakob Fugger (The Fugger family is the reason for Augsburg’s wealth and the affordable housing) every day and there is a long waiting list. This town seemed awfully grimy as we drove around it looking for parking and when we found a place to park for our camper, we left shortly there after. The parking called for 12 euros/day. With it being the largest city on the road (260,000) and the least attractive or least “Romantic” we continued our adventure down the Romantic Road. Before we stopped in Schongau, and our free camp spot for the night, we passed through Friedberg, Landsberg Am Lech, and Hohenfurch. The camping spot was large enough to accommodate many rigs and also had a bathroom near by. By the time we arrived in Shongau it was so late that we decided to just call it a night.
