Just about one hour south of Munich is Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where Germany sponsored the '36 Winter Olympische. The tallest German Alpine peak (the Zugspitze) is just out of G-P. You can ride a train/tram to the peak. There's also a minor Mad King Ludwig castle (Linderhof Palace) just to the West off the route from Munich.

Back to going to Oktoberfest for a Honeymoon?

Kinda like going to Mardi Gras to me, just never struck me to Honeymoon at either event.

But to each his/her own! Good luck & safe travels.

Germany and Austria are wunderbar!

Congrats & Prost!

My wife and I did a similar trip for our honeymoon. Started off in Oktoberfest, went to Salzburg, spent time in the alps, went to Lake Garda which is by Lake Como, then to Venice, then returned a different route to Munich and did Neuschwanstein.

If you can, I would not do Oktoberfest during the weekend. Insanely busy. If anything go as soon as it opens and leave at like 3-4 and go elsewhere in the city. Easy to do.

The alps are breathtaking. Tons of stuff to do. I'd highly recommend some extreme sports like rafting or my favorite was Canyoning definitely check it out. I'd highly recommend more time in the Alps then you'd think as it's very relaxing and plenty to do.

Salzburg is a cool city but don't need much time there. We did the Sound of Music bike tour, bike tours are great way to see the cities over there.

Check out the Ice Cave outside of Salzburg, one of the coolest things ive ever done. That and Canyoning.
