Has anyone been to Werfen castle and Ice caves? Is it worth to take day trip from Salzburg to Werfen?

Been to the ice-caves and it's a very good trip, unless you suffer from vertigo as the entrance is very high-up and the trip up the mountain is quite steep......haven't been to the fortress but it's a popular destination, particularly if you can time it to coincide with one of the twice-daily falconry displays...

2 days in Prague and 3 nights in Salzburg, I wonder is that a good decision?

Although I love Salzburg and its wonderful environs, I'd probably advise you to give the 3 days to Prague and curtail SBG to 2 days with a day around town and then a day-trip...a better day out for you from Salzburg, in my opinion, would be to Berchtesgaden, Eagles Nest and Lake Koenigsee but it's all a matter of taste, of course...and if you like exploring gorgeous countryside, then you'll be happy with your own plan...

But whatever way you do this, you'll have a great time...incidentally, the finest castle is in Salzburg itself, the spectacular Festung Hohensalzburg with its great views over the nearby Bavarian Alps...also impressive is the one in Cesky Krumlov and, of course, Prague's needs no introduction...
