7 Days in Munich-Need Itinerary Advice...

We are three girls in our mid-20%26#39;s traveling to Munich June 5-12th...we would like to see:





Munich





Dauchau





Neschwanstein





Mittenwald





Garmisch





and some lakes or water activities...





Do you think it is best to stay a few night in each place or base ourselves in Munich and make day trips, etc...





If anyone has any itinerary suggestions-please post them!!!





Many thanks!!

I would highly recommend basing yourselves in Munchen, at either Wombat%26#39;s or 4youMunchen Hostel, then taking the train (purchase week pass at www.db.de/) back %26amp; forth on day trips. You can also spend an afternoon or two at the Englischer Garten, watching some locals - or joinging in - surfing the Isar river!

Bar serving German or Bavarian Beers

Hi everybody !!





I%26#39;d transiting in Frankfurt next two weeks, and would love to find a quite, comfy bar who serving lots genuine german or bavarian beers, to be specific the weissbier or the pale..





That would be authentic German bars perhaps.. so anybody know where can I find them in main city ?





Thanks

dear satriau,





you can certainly find German beer all over Frankfurt, but you fancy the Bavarian type, you might like this place:

The Paulaner is located right next to the cathedral!





have fun - tom

Hi Tom ;





Glad to see your advice, and Paulaner is one of my favourite. Where can I find Erdinger, Franziskaner beer then ?





I certainly will go the Paulaner, but like to drink much more bavarian beers.





Stay in touch...







Cheers

Need a hotel!

After all my planning in the Berchtesgaden region, I am unable to find a hotel to stay on June 28. We will also be traveling to Hallstatt, Austria and I could stay in that area but there are also no rooms there! Does anyone know a good hotel maybe between the two or somewhere close?

I have stayed at the hotel below on a couple of occassions. It is in Bad Reichenhall, just outside Berchtesgaden.

If it works there is a sauna in the city which is nice as well:

let%26#39;s try the link for the hotel again:

|||



Did you try these?





Vier Jareszeiten



Hotel Wittelsbach



Hotel Krone



Look them up on Google - they all have web sites




|||



Thanks to all! I have checked with the ones you mentioned and have found a couple of availabilities.

We have visited Berchtesgaden many times and stayed at the Pension-Kropfleiten. It is in a nice area with wonderful views of the alps and they have sheep in their meadow. The owners speak english and are very helpful. The web site is www.pension-kropfleiten.de

Frankfurt to Mannheim by train

We are arriving at Frankfurt Airport on Thursday march 20th at 12:20pm and wish to travel by train to Mannheim .



Please advise station details and times of trains from airport to Mannheim




|||



DB timetable



http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en



From: FRA airport



To: Mannheim




|||



Since there are two rail stations in Frankfurt airport about 200-300 m apart from each other, you should go for Fernbahnhof (aka AiRail Terminal) and not for the Regionalbahnhof.




|||



We are arriving at Frankfurt Airport on Friday 1st May 2009 at 18.15 . Return flight to Heathrow on Monday 4th May from Frankfurt Airport at 14.55. Please will you advise train details to and from Mannheim to co inside with the above flight details




|||



Use abalada%26#39;s link, which takes you to the information page of German railways, and enter your dates.





We won%26#39;t do all your homework for you here...




|||



Hi all,





How long time do you think it takes to walk from the arrivals gate to the Fernbahnhof? Will I make that in 25 minutes if I have checked luggage? It sounds improbable, doesn%26#39;t it. :)




|||



25 minutes after landing or after getting your luggage?





I would at least suggest to calculate



45 minutes after landing at Terminal 1



60 minutes after landing at Terminal 2



before getting on a train.





Keep in mind:



1. there are frequent trains from Frankfurt Airport to Mannheim. Normally at least 2 per hour.



2. Normal price tickets are flexible. You can take any later train on the same day.



3. You can always buy tickets on spot. Train tickets cannot sell out in Germany (there is no compulsory reservation system).
