Train or bus from Salzburg to Prague

What is the best way to get from Salzburg to Prague? The website Rome2Rio seemed to indicate that one had to go through Munich, but I think there must be a quicker way. Thanks!

Going through Munich would be a waste of time. The best of all the bad possibilities is the morning train via Linz (see Oebb.at). Presently, there is only one direct bus connection (Leo Express), but that may change in June (www.busliniensuche.de, can be set to English).

The fastest connection from Salzburg to Prague has one change in Linz, total duration of the ride 5:35 (or 5:45) hours (depending on the departure time).

Salzburg departure 10:12am (10:22am), Linz departure 11:52am, Prague arrival 3:57pm
Salzburg departure 2:12pm (2:22pm), Linz departure 3:52pm, Prague arrival 7:57pm
