Driving from Munich to Salzburg, how hard is it to cross border there and back? ie how long does it take? Is it worth the hassle?
Thanks
Thanks

I have not made this border crossing by car. By train, it was seamless leaving Germany. Leaving Austria, a train employee verified passports at boarding. This was a few years ago at the height of the migrant crisis.

Not hard at all. Shengen makes it easy. I can’t recall but there may have been a toll

You need a special pass for the tolls when you pickup your rental car. Other than that, it is easy. We had no issues at all last year.

Is it worth the hassle? Yes. It is not that big of a hassle. I have to say that I made that trip on a tour bus so I can't comment on the details of driving a car, but I did not notice any problems at the boarder. And Salzburg is well worth visiting. I suggest that you then continue on to Vienna. You can get off the highway at Melk and drive the rest of the way through the Vaccau Valley wine country on the road that runs along the bank of the beautiful blue Danube (which is actually a greyish green). The scenery is beautiful and that is the next best thing to a Danube cruise. Don't worry about the boarder crossing.

If you’re a beer drinker, the Augustiner beer garden/brewery is very cool.

I wanted to update this thread.
Austria has given exemptions on needing a vignette in several areas. On A1 from German border at Walserberg to Salzburg Nord is exempt from having a vignette. There are several others and I will update this post when I get off of work.
The above shows exemptions in blue and is described below

Its no border control there, police stay there 24/7 and check all cars visually. If you want stress free transfer to Salzburg you can check this web> LINK /

The wife and I went to this area a couple years ago. Salzburg is beautiful, but if you have time, definitely spend a day in Innsbruck. It’s not too far from both Salzburg and Munich, and it’s by far the most beautiful city in Austria/Germany that we visited.

This will take about 2 hours. It is better to drive along the A94 road. I also recommend thinking about safety and reading on the road about how to install mspy on android and use it when traveling. A very useful application
