I’m planning to travel by the from Munich to Vienna (see picture ).

No holidays in Bayern or Austria, random blue monday and you travel when most people are working or at school. I wouldn’t bother, probably quite some free seats available.

Reservations don’t cost much for Austrian trains when bought via www.oebb.at/en (select seat reservations only), 3 EUR in 2nd class, free in 1st.

The free reservations in 1st class don't work anymore, unfortunately…
