We would really appreciate general feedback, if this is suitable and doable, as well as maybe some of you can answer the questions we already have :D.
Would it be useful to add one day? If yes, for what?
Do you have any Hotel or district recommendations to stay at?
Are the dates fine or would it be better to go a bit earlier for the Autumn Foil Foliage?
Especially Day 6 feels a bit empty, any recommendations for that?
Thanks alot and kind regards!
