Hi,

Looks like you're spending 1 night (day 5) in Fuessen and 4 nights (Day 6, 7, 8, 9) in Mittenwald. While we love Mittenwald, I'd probably stay 2 nights in Fuessen (we also like Fuessen) and either do the Zugspitze trip from here (Ehrwald, Austria) or on the drive from Fuessen to Mittenwald.

Depending on what you want to see in Hall in Tirol, you could easily stop there for a couple of hours on the way from Mittenwald to Salzburg. It's maybe a 3 or so hour drive w/o stopping.

While we only spent an evening, St. Gilgen seems like a worthwhile place to also stop on the Salzburg to Hallstatt drivee, as Salzburg to Hallstatt is less than 1:30 non-stop.

Otherwise, the parts I'm familiar with (days 1-14) look pretty good.

Paul

I stopped in Bad Ischl for lunch, a walk around, and a visit to the royal hunting lodge there on my way from Hallstatt to St. Wolfgang.

Instead of Bad Ischl, I'd recommend St. Wolfgang. I enjoyed it more than St. Gilgen. But a lot of folks here do like St. Gilgen. Google images of both to see which, if either, you prefer.

Paul thanks again for your critique. You have helped me refine my itinerary.

Joannyc, thanks for recommending St Wolfgang. It does seem a lot of Fodorites like lit. I will modify our stop to in include this town and check out St Gilgen.
