Hi! I am in the process of planning my first trip to Germany. After pouring over the guide book, I think I have an agenda, but would love some feedback. The trip will be in late August/early September, and we are flying into and out of Munich. My husband has been before and wants me to see Neuschwanstein and Berchesgarden. I'm thinking we spend our first day in Munich (we will land at 9:00am and need to stay awake to avoid jet lag) doing a city tour and just staying active. The next day, we'd take a morning train to Fussen and spend two nights there hitting the luge and castles. From there, we'd go to Salzburg for three nights and two days to hit the Eagles Nest and see the city (and for me to eat all the pastries). Then, it's back to Munich for four nights and three days of sight seeing before flying home.
Does this sound possible? I think we can do all the travel with Bayern tickets fairly affordably. I just want to be sure we have some downtime. For some reason this feels more relaxed than staying in Munich the whole week and taking day tours. Also, will hotels in Germany hold your bags prior to check in?
Thanks for the feedback. My head is swimming!
