Has anyone been to the daffodil festival in Bad Aussie. We will be driving from Salzburg to Hallstat and then Vienna on May 22nd...I believe there is a Daffodil festival in Bad Aussie on this day..Is it worth it going there..We are currently planning on 2 nights in vienna. Instead I am thinking of spending a night at hallstat/ Bad Aussie area ( Any recommendation on places to stay)..drive the next day morning through danube/Melk and reach Vienna. We fly out of Vienna that next day morning. I am thinking we will just have enough time to just grab dinner somewhere and may be visit the Hapsburg palace late evening. Any recommendations on Hallstat/ Bad Aussie vs Vienna.
Thanks for your help!

With so much to see in just 2 days, I'd save Vienna for another trip and focus on the beautiful countryside. Hallstadt will keep you occupied for at least half a day and Bad Aussee is worth a visit since you'll be so close. Check out http://www.narzissenfest.at/ to see what goes on at the flower festival (it runs from May 21-24). The Abbey at Melk is a major 'Must See' and then the drive up the Wachau Valley of the Danube to Krems am der Donau is fantastic. With the time and distance involved, I'd suggest spending a night in the Melk area so you'll be able to visit the Abbey first thing the next morning.

Check out Hotel Wachau in Melk (website has English option) and Hotel Restaurant zur Post, Melk (google to use translate option). Both have good reviews.
