Jidi,
I have the perfect places in Germany.. Read through my trip report, If you're going to be in southern Germany, which sounds like you are, stay in the smaller towns of Fussen Germany or nearby village of Hohenschwangau...Here is a trip report of my trip you can read http://www.bensbauernhof.com/chrisandkelseysgreatadventure2007.html

We stayed at Haus Weiher in Hohenschwangau, at the foot of the Ludwig castles Newschwanstein and Hohenschwangau.. From this location you could day trip into Munich, go to the Weiskirch Church, youc ould even drive a little west and go to the black forest, or go to any of the baths around this area.. You could go to Linderhoff, Ludwig's hunting lodge, ..IF you can't stay around Fussen, we drove through Reutte in Tirol, austria, wow, what a beautiful town, with the mountains as a backdrop..THere is so much to do in this area..

Then you head east and stay in Austria.. We stayed at the Gotzenbaunhof in Unken, Austria, wonderful place.. From here, you are 20 minutes to Salzburg, you are maybe 20 minutes to Berchtesgaden and maybe 25 minutes to Werfen Austria.. That is a really neat little town.. You could daytrip into Salzburg, this site has that Bavarian Drive you could do.. Going NW to Herishcimesee the Germany Versailles castle, that is a day drive, we didn't have time to do it but if you havea week in this area I would stay at the Gotzenbaunhof and day trip and xplore the area, fun, fun.. THen if you want to go to Austria, head east, we didn't go farther east as we headed to Italy.
Good luck.
