- If I should just use the train everywhere, would it be smarter to get a train pass for the week? Does such a thing exist for my travel plans?
I would split it up maybe 1/2 and 1/2, but I wouldn't spend a LOT of time in MUC. I just returned from a very interesting and FUN trip to MUC where the majority of the time was spent on the Romantic Road.
That could easily be done with 3 days.. The other 2.5-3 days in SZG would be great as well!! I really like SZG.
No, not at all a bad idea. The smallish automatic that we rented (GF doesnt do manual tranny)
had a navigation system built in and it REALLY helped. NO need to open a big arsed map and try to read where you're going. I'd do that again in a heartbeat.
I think you'll lose an awful lot of the adventure if you do the train, but if you did so, I'd say spend only 2 days in MUC and then head by train to SZG. You might even try to sneak in a trip to VIE in the latter case as well.
Have fun!!
