We start in the air @ Karlsruhe castle (as EDTK is defunct now in RL) and continue south to the rolling hills of the Black Forest with the Rhine river to our right.
Along some distinctive promontories (Teufelsmühle, Hornisgrinde, Brandenkopf: windmills correct, antennas and towers not) we reach the central Triberg region, famous for its Cuckoo Clocks and Red Pompom Girls
Turn left at the Schauinsland lookout to the Feldberg Ski Arena and Lake Schluchsee
From there we leave the Black Forest heading east along the Wutach Gorge to Hohentwiel Castle sitting on a prominent hill.
Cruise along north shore of Lake Constance (with Mainau & Lindau Islands) to reach the Alps.
We surf now along the German-Austria-border, after two distinctive peaks (Hoher Ifen, Maedelegabel) we finally reach the Mad King Ludwig II Castles Neuschwanstein (modelled) and Linderhof (missing).
Climb to Germany’s highest peak Zugspitze (10000ft, badly modelled) and
continue between Walchensee Lake and the wild Isar River Valley to Kufstein Fortress and the jagged Wilder Kaiser ridge.
Zip over Watzmann Peak and dive down xlo-level to St. Bartholomey church on Koenigsee Lake: the steep rock faces here create a famous echo - your engines will ignite a thunderous roar all over the place.
History again, finally: last WP is the infamous Eagles Nest, then circle Salzburg castle before landing on LOWS.
