We will be traveling to Switzerland and Austria at the end of September. Mid way through our trip the itinerary includes
Day one:
Travel from Appenzell to Fussen by train and or bus, leaving Appenzell early (7 – 8am).
See Neuschwanstein Castle that afternoon.
Travel on to Reutte, Austria and spend the night there.
Day two:
Travel from Reutte to Salzburg.
Questions:
- I realize day one will be long and somewhat tiring, but is it reasonable to expect to be able to do all that?
- The only website I can find that will give me a breakdown of the various train and bus rides involved is www.bahn.com, but some of the details aren’t clear. For example, one leg of the trip from Appenzell to Reutte includes: St. Gallen (CH), AB | walk 4 min on foot | St. Gallen(CH) I have no idea what I’m supposed to walk to. Is there some way to “decode” these directions?
- Would it be a better idea to rent a car in Appenzell and drop it off in Salzburg (or some smaller town along the way)? I’m willing to spend the money if it would make for a much more enjoyable trip.
- Are there other alternatives for transportation that I should consider?
Thanks in advance for any answers anyone can provide. I’m most happy to supply more details if needed.
