Where's best, the Bavarian Forest or around Garmish area? I went to Garmish years ago as a child and would like to go back. We'd also like to get another reasonably priced pre-erected tent next year, all the companies I've looked at don't go to the Alps, but do few in the forest. Then again you can't beat somewhere new

We stayed at a iydlic small lake side campsite near Iffeldorf (SW of Munich) at the end of July.  Fantastic location for looking round the area.  About 45 mins north of Garmish.  No pre-erected tents though. 

Re: the 80 km/h limit when towing.....both the father and son of the family we met up with are German Traffic police officers and they asked me what the limit on the autobahn for towing was!!  They guessed it must be 100 km/h for non-German vehicles (i.e. as we must have a comparable test to their TUV in our country), but said they were much  more focussed on driving standards than enforcing speed limits on the autobahn.

I was towing a folding camper and cruised nearer the applicable French towing limit through Germany and Italy.......I was either lucky or it's not enforced.
