Me and my family literally did this trip last year same time as you. You will love it.

My only thing is that you should consider staying in Munich at least 1 full day it’s a really cool city.

If you’re a history buff you’ll love Mozart’s home it’ll keep you there for at least an hour or two.

Salzburg also has garden by the river you should check out and this super old graveyard near the fort.
I’m also not sure if you’re in to hunting but there is a bad arse traditional German hunting store in Salzburg same side of the river as the fort but in the opposite direction. Apparently one of the prince of England frequents it as well as other famous outdoors man. Super expensive but worth looking around.

Hallstatt is remarkably beautiful it’s a hell of a drive up the mountains so bring a portable phone charge. Definite rent a boat on the lake, the town is super small so other than the salt mine tour you’re just stuck walking around for a short period.

Very jealous man y’all will have a ton a fun.

Junction, I've probably buried the lede here...



But if Munich is just an arrival spot, you're missing out on a place I've chosen to spend a few days in on all 3 Europe trips we've made. Whether it's just a quick visit to the Viktualienmarkt & Marienplatz or even the Augustiner spot near the train station, perhaps take a few hours to explore and shift some Salzburg stuff to Day 2.

However with your itinerary falling nicely into place, it might have to be a place you re-visit...a reason to go back. We found a way to spend a week in Bavaria even after our first was born. (I know it's a pre-kids trip)
