We will betraveling from Vienna to Munich in January. Any recommendations on cool places to stay between the two just for a day or two?
Salzburg would be the obvious choice
We detoured through St Veikt an der Glan just to stay at the surrealist Kunsthotel St Veit Fuchtspalast. The town ended up being a nice place to spend a day and we had a lovely dinner with schnapps tasting at Suppenkasper just off the main square.
WOW!!!!! I just gave this a look . Seems this has a relationship to Hundertwasser . Fortunately ,the rooms are tame , with that exterior on the interior instead , it would keep me awake at night . All kidding aside , that looked very interesting !
You might consider Burghausen, Germany castle and Altstadt, if you take a northern route by car. It's on the border on the Salzach River. The castle is the longest Burg in the world. I take family there when visiting. Not sure what's going on in January. Good for a day and night.
