Best places to break on drive from luxembourg to Munich

Hi all,





we%26#39;ll be attempting to drive from lux to munich in a day (it%26#39;ll be about 7 hours road time in my car) and will need to break it up with a stop here and there (probably two).





The route will take us near Kaiserslautern and Stuttgart but these places dont look too attractive from the photos i%26#39;ve seen on flickr.





Does anyone have any suggestions for nice quaint towns along this route that will be good for a stop and a bite?





Cheers,





Kite.

A few possibilities along the way near Stuttgart:



Maulbronn just north of Pforzheim with the best preserved medieval monastery north of the Alps (in www.schloesser-und-gaerten.de ); Esslingen ( www.esslingen.de ) with its excellent well preserved medieval center is not too far off the A8; Holzmaden, the town isn%26#39;t great, but Urweltmuseum Hauff ( www.urweltmuseum.de ) is excellent with its local fossils of dinosaurs from the quarries nearby, just before ascending the Swabian Alb; Blaubeuren (probably www.blaubeuren.de )nice town with the Blautopf (deep blue pool in the mouth of a flooded cave, source of the Blau (Blue) River, with the old monastery and its church nearby; and Ulm ( www.ulm.de ) with the cathedral with its record height church spire, climbable if desired.

Thanks Marcopolko,





have chosen Ulm has the second stop, and will put one in somewhere prior to kaiserslautern as well.





Ta,





Kite
