I love this road trip I take from San Antonio at least twice a year! It's Texas Hill Country so your scenery is going to include plenty of hills, oak trees, orchards, plenty of bodies of water like lakes, rivers, and ponds, and some really neat historic towns along the way. I really had no idea such a lush area of Texas existed when I moved here from Washington state but this is my scenic escape whenever I start to see too much shades of brown and tan in the summer.

I love the towns along this road trip and each time I take the ride I find new favorite places to stop. If you take this ride, you really need to stop and take your time looking around Bandera, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, and Blanco.

There are museums along the way but I don't remember any specific names. Plenty of shopping for crafts, art, & antiques. Hotels and places to stay over night are available throughout the path.

Fredericksburg has a great historic area that you need to check out and it's positioned pretty much at the half way point of this road trip so plan on doing lunch hear and ask the locals for sightseeing advice. The area has some great ethnic German restaurants that I suggest you stop at.

     

Like I said, we take this road trip at least once a year. The area is beautiful although its starting to get more crowded. If you want to avoid crowds consider a weekday excursion!
