How is driving over there?
Germany is probably a top 3 place in the world to drive. Great roads, drivers obediently follow the laws, etc. If you drive there you'll be pissed the USA isn't better.
IMO a great tour of that area would be to rent a car and go to Neushwanstein, stay the night in Innsbruck, drive to salzburg to stay the night, Eagles nest, Herrenchiemsee, etc. Plenty more to do all around there also. That's only like an 8 hour loop.
There's some other great castles all around that area.

Driving was very easy overall. I drove through Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. The only hard part was picking up and dropping off the car. We did this out of the main train stations - the busiest part of any European city. Bad idea but worked out ok. It would be really easy to do it out of the Munich airport. Driving to Garmisch or Salzburg or Regensburg is easy. Just don’t drive in the left lane. The guys in the BMWs going 120 mph will let you know.

Others have touched on this and I will add a few things.
Vignette
https://www.asfinag.at/en/toll/vignette/
This must be purchased and affixed to the windshield BEFORE entering Austria. There are instructions on the sticker backing to show where to place so it can be read by the scanners. The vignette can be purchase at any gas station along the autobahn. There are many gas stations that are accessible from the autobahn. There is a map on the website to show which roads are covered by the vignette.
You will also need an IDP for driving in Austria. You can get 1 at AAA.
Driving
All slower traffic to the right. On the A8 heading south, there are several places where there will be no speed limit. The left lane will have cars/motorcycles going as fast as they can and all slower traffic needs to move to the right. German drivers will teach you how to do it.
Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse

This is a fantastic drive and great scenery.
Bring a light jacket or long sleeve shirt to Eisriesenwelt. It is 32°F inside even in July. 1400 stair steps in total. 700 up and 700 down.
