Itinerary advice - December/January 2020

Good day mind hive,
Thanks in anticipation for your advice and feedback on the following itinerary. We are a family of three (our daughter will be 7) travelling from Australia.
We will arrive in Berlin and spend a week. From here I am in two minds. Option 1: 3 nights Dresden, 4 in Weimar and 3 in Bamberg
Option 2: 4 in Weimar and 3 in Bamberg and then 3 in Augsburg
Option 3: 5 in Weimar and 5 in Bamberg

We then are in Gamisch Parkenkirchen for Christmas and my husband’s 50th birthday (23-28 December).
From GP, Regensberg for 3 nights, Salzburg for 4 and Vienna for 4/5 before flying out of Vienna.

Essentially I am tossing up between Dresden and Augsburg.

If you think some of the timings are off, please let me know what you would change. We have a family rule of 3 nights minimum stay.

Thank you so much

Thank you MarkK. That had been my initial and gut thought, but there’s just so much - every time I read something there’s somewhere else I want to go!
We try to take the less is more approach rather than doing a night here and a night there.
Saxon Switzerland looks amazing. Is it reasonably accessible via public transport in the winter? Coming from the tropics in far north Australia my husband is hesitant about winter driving.
