re: Germany (Munich) and Europe for 7-10 days…

I agree with the poster who said just extend your trip to Salzburg. You will be much closer to Eagle’s Nest and can also get in a trip to that castle that I won’t even try to spell. We also did a really cool salt mine tour just outside of Salzburg. I don’t have the name but I’m sure you can find one easy enough. My sister-in-law is a huge Sound of Music fan so we also did that tour and it actually turned out to be quite nice. Everything in the area is so beautiful. The trip to see the church where they film the wedding was absolutely stunning and we could see Eagles Nest from there at one point on the drive. (It was much higher elevation than where we were. The driver stopped at a look out point and pointed out where it was)

We did a Dachau tour and while it’s very sad it wasn’t a whole day thing so it wasn’t like it put some dark cloud over an entire day.
