Best routes from Berlin to Vienna on an Eurail pass

I bought a 5-day Eurail Select Pass Saver for Germany-Austria-Hungary. I am using Berlin-Vienna, and Vienna-Munich for sure. But the 3 remaining trips on the pass are pretty flexible. So I wanted to get some ideas on scenic routes from Berlin to Vienna and if that would entail using up another trip out of the remaining 3 on the pass, since there's no Berlin-Vienna direct route on the timetable. Would it be worth it to go thru Prague and spend the extra money since the Czech Republic is not included in the pass?

I'm also considering a couple of day trips from Vienna if that's a good use of the pass, to Budapest and Linz. I'm starting to think it would have been better to purchase all these trips per leg of my travel since these day trips are so cheap when bought there. Hence my first question to make the best use of the Berlin to Vienna route.
Thanks for your ideas and insight!

There is a direct Berlin-Vienna night train and direct ICE day trains. See the timetables at www.bahn.de. Click on "Internat. Guests" for English.
