Travel

To plan train trips in Germany (or should I say Europe?), I recommend bahn.de. Helpful search values could be: From: Airport Munich To: Fischbachau Bahnhof.

Reach Munich Hauptbahnhof by train if you are at a reasonable distance (a TGV runs from Paris in 6 hours).

From Munich Airport (MUC) Franz-Josef-Strauß, take S-trains S1 or S8 to Munich Hauptbahnhof. Allow 1 hour for the trip.

From Munich Hauptbahnhof, take special train BOB (Bayerische Oberlandbahn) to Bayrischzell and exit at Fischbachau. The trip takes a bit over an hour.

From Fischbachau Bahnhof it is a 200m walk to the hotel.

Please note:

  • BOB Timetable: AIM XV takes place during school holidays (Ferien), the trains under column Schule won't run.
  • The BOB train leaves from Flügelbahnhof Nord (tracks 27-36), see Munich station map, upper left corner.
  • The BOB train usually splits in Holzkirchen; make sure you are in the part that goes to Bayrischzell!
  • You can also enter the BOB train at S-train stop Donnersbergerbrücke. This way, you can avoid the busy and possibly confusing Munich Hauptbahnhof. If coming from MUC you want to change at Donnersbergerbrücke, take an S1 from MUC.

Train tickets

  • Full trip: MUC -> Fischbachau: Take Bayern-Single-Ticket for 21 EUR. It is valid on all local trains, including S-train and BOB. You can buy it at the Bahn counter at MUC or online at bahn.de when you search for your connection there.
  • Partial trip: MUC -> Hauptbahnhof via S-train: You need a ticket for the MVV (Munich traffic association). You can buy a Streifenkarte (stripe card) for 12 EUR and cancel 8 stripes (9.60 EUR). Alternatively, get a Single-Tageskarte Gesamtnetz (single day ticket entire network) for 10.80 EUR. You get the ticket at the Bahn counter or a ticket vending machine. In any case, remember to cancel the ticket in the blue ticket stamp machine!
  • Partial trip: Hauptbahnhof -> Fischbachau: Tickets: A single ticket is 13,60 EUR. There are special BOB-vending machines.

Group tickets

If you are coming in a group, you can save by buying a partner ticket for a group up to 5 persons.

  • Full trip: MUC -> Fischbachau: Take Bayern-Ticket for 29 EUR.
  • Partial trip: MUC -> Hauptbahnhof: Take a Partnertageskarte Gesamtnetz (partner day ticket entire network) for 19.60 EUR.
  • Partial trip: Hauptbahnhof -> Fischbachau: buy a BOB-MVV-Ticket for 25 EUR.
