Munich Airport - excellent and convenient

by Trekki

Bavaria has three airports which operate on an international level. However, the ones of Nuremberg and Memmingen (Allgäu Airport) only operate on a European level while the one in Munich also has intercontinental flights (to US, Japan, Singapore, Bangkok, Doha, Dubai and China).Although I only know the one in Munich, I can highly recommend it, especially for its efficiency and layout. It has two runways and two terminals (T 2 for Lufthansa and the Star Alliance partners, T 1 for the others). When I arrive or depart in Munich I mostly arrive or depart on remote positions, but the busses are very efficient and quick, and even when I had only 45 minutes in between flights, this was never a problem. Compared to my actual “home base airport” Frankfurt, I would say that the one in Munich is not only more efficient in terms of transactions but also in terms of distances. In Frankfurt I often...

Take the bus from Salzburg or Berchtesgaden

by globetrott

In order to get to Koenigssee by public transportation, take the bus #840 from Salzburg Rathaus and change to Bus #839 or #843 in Berchtesgaden, the total ride will be a bit more than 1 hour and there is mostly 1 bus-connection each hour.check the timetable here, and search for Koenigssee !---- ---- ---- ---- ----In Schoenau am Koenigssee you may rent this small buggy with 2 seats for 50 Euros per day. You will not be able to make a lot of noise around Koenigsee,because you will not find any roads there, it is rather ment for the roads around Berchtesgaden and it might be funny to explore the scenic roads that way, when you came by public transportation to Koenigsee.This Buggy is rented by Restaurant Schiffmeister , you will find this place, when walking from the ship-station to Seeklause - see their web-page below !NO helmet needed, because there is a strong top and you have your...

the cablecar to JENNER

by globetrott

Jenner is the mountain that is closest to Koenigsee, where you may get up by cablecar. and you will have an excellent view of the lake and the surrounding mountains.Jenner-Bahn starts in Schoenau am Koenigssee, just about 200 meters above the large parking-area for Koenigsee.Small cabins with just 2 seats will take you uphill.Jennerbahn is also for skiing, prices vary a bit between summer and winter and you may as well get tickets for 5 days or a week, Jenner is also aquite popular place to start for paragliders.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There is a combination-ticket for Jenner(up and down) + the ships on Koenigssee:26,50 Euro to St. Bartholomae and return(+3 euros extra for the ship to Salet)both have to be done at the same day !ordinary price would be 30,10 euros (+3,- for Salet)

biking in Munich

by globetrott

Biking is easy in Munich, as there are plenty of biking-paths all over the city.On my picture you may see a small part of the big bike-parking in Pasing.Plenty of people from the suburbs of Munich take the bike to get to the S-bahn-station there and go on by train.

How to get to Amerang by car

by globetrott

Ammerang in Bavaria is close to Wasserburg am Inn and also quite close to the Chiemsee. It is the best to drive there on the highway München - Salzburg and leave the highway at exit Prien. Fromthere you stillneed todrive about 1 hour to Ammerang on sideroads through small villages, always following the direction "Wasserburg am Inn" !Shortly before you get there you will arrive in Ammerang.Parking your car is free of charge at both museums and also at the castle!

Train up the Zugspitze

by Florida999

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)

driving to Koenigsee & parking your car

by globetrott

Koenigsee is just about 4 km from Berchtesgaden and at the beginning of the village you will find a large car-park for all of the day-tourists for Jenner, Koenigsee and Schoenau am Koenigsee. At first you have to enter the gate, pay right away for the whole day, no matter at what time of the day you are arriving.Then you search for a parking-spot, preferably in the shade, but those are quite rare.Walking-time to the lake is about 10 minutes, to Jennerbahn about 4 minutes.The parking-fee for ordinary cars is 3 euros a day !

The SHIP is the ONLY way to see Koenigssee

by globetrott

The ship is the only way to see Koenigsee, St. Bartholomae and Obersee, except maybe a few tiny, dangerous and steep mountain-paths through the woods. Along the way over the lake you may see only a few places, where something like a beach exists, in some cases with a small hut, but even those places are almost un-accesible except by boat (AND you may land there only upon prior appointment).All of the ships will first go to St.Bartholomae and continue to Obersee, and will finally get back to St.Bartholomae again before they return to Schoenau.All of these ships are powered by electric engines, you almost will not hear any noises at all.___________________________________ships are running all year EXCEPT Dec. 24th !!!returntickets to St.Bartolomae are 11 euroschildren (6-14) are 5,50 euros, dogs 2,50 !"Kaffeerunde" (after 02.00p.m.) is 13,80 euros and it includes the ship and a coffee and...

Train

by Gili_S

If you want to take a trip somewhere, you better know that they Bayern Bahn have special day ticket for 15 euro where you can use this ticket unlimited inside Bavaria in all regional trains for the whole day. I am just not sure if such offered valid only during summer.
