The border between Germany and Austria near Salzburg is a special case. Since the refugee crises there are regular big controls. Locals avoid it whenever possible, even thought this is the most direct way for many connections. Avoid taking a bus over that border, and if you do don't panic when they enter with dogs and machine guns and expect a 2 hour delay
