We are planning a trip for September, my husband and two grown sons. We have a 9 night trip (kids don't have lots of vacation time), arriving in Munich early and traveling exclusively by train/bus. We should be in Mittenwald by noon on day 1.
My husband and sons mostly want the amazing vistas, unique mountain experiences, and some hiking. I love those things and a charming old town. I think this plan covers all of that. This is the breakdown of the trip (# of nights in parentheses):
- Mittenwald (2) with a day trip to Garmisch-Partenkirchen to see Zugspitze
- Seefeld (1)
- Zell am See (3) On travel to Zell am See, stopover in Innsbruck for the day then continue to Zell am See.
- Two days around Zell am See (Schmittenhöhe and Kitzsteinhorn )
- Salzburg (2) with a day trip to Werfen, a Sound of Music bike tour, other landmarks.
- Munich (1) to prepare for departure
Feedback:
I feel pretty confident based on my research that this is doable; if I’m wrong, please let me know!
We were in Germany in March and there was some work on the trains/tracks that forced us to use a bus around Stuttgart. Is there somewhere that reports disruptions ahead of time so we can plan? DB and OBB.
