 Munich Hauptbahnhof by Jehcekah We only used the train. It worked out just fine for us. The train schedules are fairly dependable and there is an office available where you can get English information from very a helpful staff. The Euraide office is located in the Munich Hauptbahnhof at track #11. You can purchase tickets for tours here and get any train information that you need. The train system is available in most towns, but you may have to go out of your way to complete a route. For example, we had to go from Rothenburg to Frankfurt and from Frankfurt to Heidelberg to get to Heidelberg. Heidelberg is closer to Rothenburg than Frankfurt is. We spent about 5 hours on the train that day, but that is the exception rather than the rule. Also, you can find train schedules and information online at www.diebahn.de It is in German, but is also available in English. The transportation within Munich is very convenient. You can purchase tickets for the S-Bahn (innercity train) and U-Bahn (outer city train) for a reasonable price. A two day partner ticket for the innercity is $7.50. To get to the airport, it costs a little more. Train tickets can also be used on any bus or trams as long as it hasn't expired. We never were asked for our tickets on any Munich public transportation, but don't try to go without a ticket. The cost without one is 30,00 Euro per person. Before we left for Germany, we bought a four-day partner ticket for the German Rail. You can use it for unlimited travel until midnight of that day. We never had any problems using it and actually got away with no one checking it most of the time. We ended up using it again for an extra day because the conductor had not stamped it.

 horse carriage in Rothenburg by globetrott In Rothenburg ob der Tauber you may take a sightseeing-tour in such an old horse-carriage. These tours will take about 1,5 hours and will start at all major parkings around the centre of town. Normally there is NO access for private cars to the old town of Rothenburg - except for locals of course and except for tourists, who have booked in one of the hotels. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Brewery-wagons drawn by 6 horses by globetrott Especially during Oktoberfest you may meet carriages like this one with 6 horses and a huge beer-wagon. NO reason to worry, when you drive your car nearby, as these horses are used to the car-trafic and every horse will also have it's own "attendant" , walking all the time close to the horse, beeing able to interfere immediately in any case of danger. Simply follow their instructions and you may pass by easily with your car. Driving in the centre during Oktoberfest is not really a good idea anyway... Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Priener Bockerl by globetrott This old steam-train of the 19th century will still take you from the trainstation of Prien to the ships that will go for Herrenchiemsee castle. That ride is just 3 Km, but of course it is great fun to take such a lovely steam-train. They provide a 1st class with great sofas and a 2nd class for ordinary people :-) Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Lupetto makes his way through Franconia by richiecdisc A car comes in very handy in traveling around Bavaria, especially in getting to all the small villages that I love to see up close. The distances are not so great and we didn't drive more than three hours to get from any one place to the next and mostly, the times were much shorter than that. Thanks to D for the great job in driving and to Lupetto for getting us to all the places with no breakdowns. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

You can get up the highest mountain of Germany, the Zugspitze several ways. We started out on the German side in Garmisch Patenkirchen, and purchased a family ticket up the mountain and back at the train station. The choice of how one goes up and back down is up to the individual, it all costs the same. We went up with the train, then the last small distance to the top in a small gondola and back down to the Eibsee in the other gondola, and from there back on the train. You could also take the train both ways, or the gondola both ways if you wanted to. I liked both. The train gave you enough time to see the area, the gondola was very high up and you have spectacular views. The train was more comfortable since the gondola was crowded and most people were standing. (there is also a gondola on the Austrian side of the mountain near Reutte) Theme: Train

 Elefantentreffen 2006 Taxi by marco2005 TAXI The site of the Elefantentreffen may be very crowded. So in the rush hour you can have some trouble to find a taxi. In the pic you see one lucky man who got it. Theme: Motorcycle
