My daughter and I will be in Germany for one week this August. We are flying in and out of Frankfurt, but will most likely be exploring in Bavaria and Salzburg. I do not want to rent a car. Getting to major cities will be fairly easy by train, I imagine. However, how about traveling to and from other locations outside of the cities?
Alternatively, what other itineraries would be worth considering for a one week trip? Neither of us has ever been to Germany so we are open to suggestions.

You probably should post this on the Europe forum--I suspect you would get more answers there.

RIght.
I just got back from 2 months in Germany. Unless you're planning on going to very remote towns, the train will take you where you want to go.
Here is my itinerary for a similar trip I'll be taking in October.
1. Fly to Frankfurt. We will be staying for a few days with family and plan to take in Baden Baden and some Black Forest sights then.
2. Train to Munich, stay 3 nights. Possible side trips to Neuschwanstein, Dachau
3. Train to Salzburg, stay 3 nights. Possible side trips to Berchtesgaden, Hallstatt.
4. Train to Rothenburg, stay 2 nights.
5. Train back to Frankfurt, fly home.
All of the side trips I've mentioned can be reached by public transportation or organized day tours. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the suggestion. This is the first time I have posted anything, so I appreciate the help. I will post on the Europe forum.
Azzure - thanks for the suggested itinerary. These are some of the places we are interested in visiting, as well.
