Family Trip to Bavaria and Tyrol

Hello from Greece!

I’m planning a family trip at the end of June to Bavaria and Tyrol and would love your advice.

About us: family of 4 (kids 11 & 15). We enjoy city sightseeing, nature, and easy-to-moderate activities. Past trips: Norway 2023, Iceland 2024.

Flights: Arrive Zurich June 24, 9:00 AM, depart Zurich July 1, 9:15 AM.

Itinerary 1 (current plan):

June 24: Arrival → Rhine Falls → Lindau (overnight)
June 25: Lindau → Füssen → Neuschwanstein + Alpsee
June 26: Füssen → Eibsee + Partnach Gorge or Zugspitze + Eibsee
June 27: Füssen → Plansee → Linderhof → Partnach Gorge (if not done) → Mittenwald
June 28: Mittenwald → Innsbruck (2 nights)
June 30: Innsbruck → Zurich

Alternative option:

June 27: Füssen → Chiemsee → Siegsdorf
June 28: Siegsdorf → Königssee → Innsbruck (2 nights)

Notes / Requests:

Looking for advice on which itinerary is more realistic. Second option is more impressive but involves longer driving.
Suggestions for must-see sights and activities each day, including hidden gems.
Need 2–3 hours of midday rest daily due to a child’s health issue.
Open to destination changes to improve the itinerary.

Thanks so much for any tips or ideas!
GEORGE

Your first itinerary involves too much driving already IMHO with the long mid-day breaks you must take every day. I would not add the Königssee. If you are driving to the Zugspitze & Partnach Gorge on the 26th, don't back track to Füssen. Leave Füssen on the 26th, visit Linderhof on the way to the Garmisch area, stay there afterwards.
