Help me perfect this itinerary

I will leave Salzburg by train around 9 am to Freilassing to pick up rental car at Sixt. Then head to Fuschl, st Gilgen, St Wolfgang, Bad Ishl then to Halstatt by around 4:30 to check into our accommodation for one night. Next day spend morning touring Hallstatt and leave around noon to go to 5 fingers, Gosausee, Hallein and ending at our hotel in Berchtesgaden for 3 nights.

Should be drive to St Wolfgang from St Gilgen or take the ferry back and forth? Is there anything we should add or skip? Is this route feasible?

Also, any dining suggestions along the way would be appreciated! Thank you

No replies, I see. I don’t have answers except to say that the driving in this area is easy. And hopefully I will pop this up for more knowledgeable people to add to!

A lot of driving around. Get the information where to park your car in advance.

One night is ok in Halstatt, but you won't have time to do much. Your car will not be parked close so you'll have a walk into town. You'll probably need to get a dinner reservation asap when you arrive. The morning is not much time to see the town. take the funicular, do the skywalk. Forget about the salt mine tour. Also remember tourists start arriving early and it gets quite crowded depending on the time of year.
