Texas Hill Country: 5 Tage Natur, Kultur und Genuss

Austin → San Antonio · 5 Days

Plan your own route

A short, relaxed loop through the hills between Austin and San Antonio: the Capitol in Austin, the Hamilton Pool grotto, German heritage in Fredericksburg, the granite dome of Enchanted Rock and the music hamlet of Luckenbach. Plus Gruene with the oldest dance hall in Texas, Natural Bridge Caverns and the San Antonio missions.

Short drives, plenty of time at each stop. In April the bluebonnets bloom along the roads.

A sample route to look at. If you copy it, your own copy lands in your plans – there you can change days, stops and order.
