[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where would I go?  Berchtesgaden and Salzburg, Austria.  Make a loop from Munich to Salzburg and come back through the Garmisch area.   You can tour the Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgadenand take a boat ride on the Konigsee.  Do a Salt Mines tour--fun for all.  Watch The Sound of Music before you go, and then tour Salzburg.  Come back through the Garmisch area and see Neuschwanstein (Disney's model for Sleeping Beauty Castle) and Linderhof.  Lots of opportunities for scenic views, hiking, etc.

I lived in Germany for quite some time and travelled over most of it.  There are many wonderful towns and places to go--but these are my favorite.  I think it is also more kid friendly.

While in Frankfurt, go over to the Rhine and take a three or four hour Rhine tour on a tour boat.  That is fun, too.

I haven't lived there in years, so I cannot address the reservation issue.  However, it is always nice to have a reservation so that you don't have to start looking for a place to stay earlier than you would like.[/quote]

Another vote for the Salt Mine & the Berchtesgaden area in general; the mine features really long wood slides (yes - like a playground slide only much longer) and even an underwater boat ride.  Amazing!

I found the Eagles Nest a little disappointing because I don't think they have added enough historical information to explain what it was and the horror behind it.  The only info provided was a 4-language audio recording on the bus trip up to the site.  We used Eva Braun's bedroom as a diaper changing station; I thought that was a fitting tribute to her and the monstrous regime she was a part of.  The site itself is, indeed, beautiful - there's no disputing that.

Our children loved our hike in the Zuaberwald - (wizard's forest) nearby.  The trail follows a beautiful clear running stream flowing out of dolomite mountains. [/quote]
