Hi-
Thanks in advance for any advice you may lend. We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children ages 10,8 and 6) traveling to Germany/Austria this August. This is the current itinerary I was thinking:
Munich- 3 nights
Fussen- 1 nights
Salzburg- 3 nights
Hallstat- 2 nights
Vienna- 3 nights
Prague- 2 nights
The trouble I am finding is that I would like to explore a bit more from Fussen to Salzburg or Hallstat. Is it best to use public transportation? Or to rent a car for more convenience? And if we rent a car we would need to try and return it back in Germany to keep the cost down? Also, should we drop Prague to do more exploring near Garmich etc? I've been reading the guidebooks but have so many ideas bouncing around and am not sure of a route that is feasible and good for kids. We would like to do castles, hiking, the salt mine tour and also do some city exploring.
Thanks in advance and sorry my topic is sort of a broad based question.
