How many days to see....

Salzburg, Hallstatt and The Zillertall Arena(Krimml, Zell am See, Gerlos)?

Should we use Salzburg as a base for these sights, or one night in Salzburg, then one night in Hallstatt, then move on through the Zillertal region as we head to the Bavaria region of Germany west of Munich?

Any thoughts?

I assume you will have a car for these places.

I would suggest:

One night in Salzburg

Much to see in Salzburg- you may want to stay longer.

While you can do Hallstatt as a day trip from Salzburg by train I think the drive to Hallstatt is very nice and Hallstatt is best seen after many tourists leave and the town becomes a little more quiet Several nice places to stay on prior posts here.

Are you looking to visit Zell am See or Zell am Ziller ? Or both ? Zell am Ziller would also fit your trip as it is in the Zillertal and not far from Gerlos.

Zell am See is on the way from Salzburg to Krimml and Gerlos.A beautiful lakeside village.

This would be a very long day trip( Zell, Krimml, Gerlos and Zillertal )and you would really not have enough time to see very much.

You are best to take your time and arrange a stay somewhere in the Zillertal and then on to Bavaria when you want.Many nice places in all price categories in Zell Am Ziller, Mayrhofen, and Fugen in the Zillertal.

This is a most beautiful part of Austria. However, if you do plan to do this in winter- the road Krimml- Gerlos - Zillertal is a mountain pass -type road that has many grade chages and curves. It can be very hazardous in snow and ice.

Enjoy!

Basically I have eight days from Rothenburg to Baden Baden and in that time I wanted to include:

Romantic Road

Salzburg

Hallstatt

Gerlos and Krimmler Waterfall (and what ever is there without having to stay overnight)

Then somehow to the %26quot;Cinderella Castle%26quot; on my way to the Black Forest to end up in Baden-Baden to take a train to Paris.

Deep breath.

We will have a car and are flexible as far as transportaion.

I am so confused.

And this is in three weeks. I have to have this figured out like ASAP

The %26quot;Cinderella Castle%26quot; - Neuschwanstein?

(http://www.neuschwanstein.de/english/)

%26quot;By car

Take the A7 motorway (direction Ulm-Kempten-Füssen) until the end and at the exit to Füssen. From Füssen via the federal road B17 direction Schwangau and follow the signs to Hohenschwangau village. The village of Hohenschwangau only has private parking facilities, for which there is a charge. (4 € / car).%26quot;
