This is the road trip of a lifetime — hand-crafted for people who crave sweeping European scenery, effortless luxury, world-class driving roads, and unforgettable memories. Every mile is on carefully chosen scenic B-roads and quiet country lanes that wind through forests, river valleys, and gentle hills — deliberately avoiding heavy traffic highways and cities so you experience pure Porsche joy. The result: 1,450 km of pure driving bliss, perfectly paced at 45–90 minutes between the most magical stops.
You’ll enjoy four enchanting nights in Czechia, fairy-tale villages that feel straight out of a storybook, dramatic hiking and a boat ride through sandstone gorges, and a true bucket-list Oktoberfest finale with your tight-knit group.
Day-by-Day Experience
Day 1 – Tuesday, September 14: Stuttgart → Rothenburg ob der Tauber (~160 km, 2.5–2.75 h driving) Morning group photos at the Porsche Museum set the tone for the adventure. We then glide along peaceful B-roads to Schloss Langenburg, a breathtaking Renaissance castle perched high above the Jagst valley — think fairytale views with rose gardens and sweeping panoramas. The large, open parking area right on the castle grounds makes it effortless to line up all our Porsches for iconic photos. Afternoon arrival in Rothenburg ob der Tauber — the most perfectly preserved medieval walled town in Europe. For American visitors, this is pure Disney magic in real life: cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and the famous Plönlein corner that looks like it was built for postcards. Walk the entire city wall at sunset for views that will take your breath away. Overnight: Villa Mittermeier, Rothenburg ob der Tauber (intimate 4-star boutique right inside the walls, with reserved on-site parking for our group).
Day 2 – Wednesday, September 15: Rothenburg → Karlovy Vary (~270 km scenic, ~3.5 h relaxed driving) Today’s hand-picked B-roads carry us through Franconian countryside and across the border into Bohemia on flowing, lanes lined with forests and gentle hills — exactly the kind of roads Porsches were made for. Arrival in Karlovy Vary, one of Europe’s most elegant spa towns. For American visitors, this feels like stepping into a gilded 19th-century European dream — steaming colonnades, crystal-clear springs, and a refined atmosphere that has drawn royalty and celebrities for centuries. Overnight: Grandhotel Pupp, Karlovy Vary — the legendary 5-star Belle-Époque palace featured in films such as Casino Royale. On-site guarded parking is pre-booked for all our Porsches. Stroll the Grand Colonnade, enjoy the river promenade, and take the short walk or funicular to Diana Lookout Tower for panoramic views that feel straight out of a movie.
Day 3 – Thursday, September 16: Karlovy Vary → Hotel Mezní Louka, Bohemian Switzerland National Park (~155 km, ~2.5 h relaxed driving) A short, scenic drive on quiet roads brings you to one of Czechia’s most dramatic natural wonders. Bohemian Switzerland National Park is a jaw-dropping landscape of towering sandstone cliffs, deep gorges, and pristine forests — a true hidden gem that feels like the American Southwest meets Middle-Earth. For U.S. visitors, this is the kind of untouched European wilderness you rarely see. Afternoon highlight: a guided moderate hike to Pravčická brána, Europe’s largest natural sandstone arch, followed by the iconic Kamenice River boat ride through Edmund’s Gorge — a serene 20-minute journey between sheer rock walls. Overnight: Hotel Mezní Louka (Rainwiese), Bohemian Switzerland National Park — a peaceful forest-edge hotel with direct trail access and large secure parking reserved for our Porsches.
Day 4 – Friday, September 17: Mezní Louka → Prague (~120 km, ~1.75 h relaxed driving) A gentle morning drive on quiet roads leads to the crown jewel of Central Europe. Prague is the fairy-tale city that captures every American heart — golden spires, cobblestone lanes, and a skyline that looks like it was painted by a storybook artist. As the sun sets over the Vltava River, your group will enjoy a magical dinner together in the heart of the Old Town — the kind of unforgettable evening where laughter, great food, and centuries of history create memories that last forever. Overnight: Hotel Klárov, Prague (stylish 4-star boutique steps from Charles Bridge, with secure partner garage/valet reserved for all our Porsches).
Day 5 – Saturday, September 18: Prague → Český Krumlov (~173 km, ~2.5 h with stops) Highlight stop: Hluboká nad Vltavou Castle — a stunning white fairy-tale castle set in English-style parkland. Then on to Český Krumlov, a UNESCO jewel that feels like a living Renaissance painting. For American visitors, this is the ultimate “wow” town — a perfectly preserved medieval village wrapped around a dramatic river bend, with castle towers rising above red rooftops. Climb the castle tower, wander the Cloak Bridge at sunset, and soak in the storybook charm. Overnight: Boutique Hotel Latrán, Český Krumlov (historic 15th-century building steps from the castle, with hotel-assisted secure parking).
Day 6 – Sunday, September 19: Český Krumlov → Hotel & Gasthof Fürberg, St. Gilgen (~183 km, ~3.5 h pure scenic driving) Today’s route is pure Porsche heaven — winding lake roads through the Salzkammergut. Waypoints: Freistadt’s charming walled square, Gmunden’s lakeside Schloss Orth, and Mondsee’s crystal-clear viewpoint. Evening arrival at Hotel & Gasthof Fürberg on the Wolfgangsee. Kent and Allison VanArnam stayed here years ago on one of their very first trips to Europe — and it instantly became one of their most cherished memories. The lakeside setting is pure magic: private beach, terrace dining with mountain reflections on the water, and the kind of peaceful alpine beauty that makes you never want to leave. Overnight: Hotel & Gasthof Fürberg, St. Gilgen.
Day 7 – Monday, September 20: Fürberg St. Gilgen → AMERON München Motorworld (~170 km scenic, 2–2.5 h) Morning lakeside photos, then a spectacular drive via Tegernsee — one of Bavaria’s most beautiful Alpine lakes with perfect Porsche photo opportunities. Early afternoon arrival at the AMERON München Motorworld — the ultimate car-lover’s hotel with glass garages and classic cars on display everywhere (huge secure parking reserved for our group). 3:00 pm – 10:00 pm: Private shuttle to Oktoberfest. For many, this is a true bucket-list experience — and doing it with our tight group makes it even better. Imagine stepping into the legendary beer tents together: live oompah music that gets everyone singing, endless steins of fresh Oktoberfest beer, giant pretzels and roast chicken, and the best people-watching on the planet. Laughter, toasts, and memories will flow as freely as the beer. Your private shuttle brings you back to the hotel around 10:30 pm. Overnight: AMERON München Motorworld.
Day 8 – Tuesday, September 21: Munich → Porsche Museum Stuttgart (~220 km, 2–3.5 h relaxed) A final relaxed morning drive on scenic Swabian roads. Afternoon finale: line up all our Porsches for the legendary group photo at the Porsche Museum — the perfect bookend to an unforgettable journey.
