Oh, and make doubly sure the Gmuend Museum is open when you visit. I've been there several times and once they were closed for renovations, though their website said they were open every day but Xmas. I called the number on the door and got the Helmut Pfeiffhofer himself. He explained why they were closed, but said he would open the museum for me and a few others who were coming a few days later, which he did. We had the whole place to ourselves. Don't know if he's still around, as he wasn't young 15 years ago when I last spoke with him. But he is a legend. Good bar food in that town too.
