trip to salsburg
 

Hi
we are a family of 4,children 7and11 and want to catch a train from Munich to Salsburg and stay overnight. I cant seem to find any information about the 25e bayern pass that I have read about on this site and also the timetable for the train. One other question is, are we able to take our large luggage on these trains without any problems. Thanks for any help

Here's the link. You're right: It's hard to find.

BTW, it's SalZburg, with a Z

Hi J,

If you go to www.bahn.de you will find schedules and tickets.

You may take as much luggage on a train as you can carry.

Just go to the ticket window at the Hauptbahnhof in Munich and ask for Bayern Pass. It is not good on all trains, just the slower ones and I believe they must also be off peak. You handle your own luggage and there should be adequate room.

I believe the Bayern Pass is around 35EU for up to 5 people, for travel within 24 hours. You might need to buy two passes to spend the night, but it's still a great deal. Our family of four used it June 2004 for a day-trip to Salzburg from Munich.

The BK costs 25 Euro online, 27 if purchased from an agent, and allows up to 5 people to travel together from 9am-3am in second class on certain local trains (InterRegioExpress, RegionalExpress, RegionalBahn, S-Bahn) and the entire transport system of the Verkehrsverbünde.

Slight correction: I'm sure you can travel after 3:00 p.m., on the Bayerne Pass, because we used it from Fussen to Munich after 9:00 p.m.

Maureen,

that is 3:00 AM! - three o'clock the next morning. With the Bayern ticket you can return home after midnight.

Duh, I didn't read your post closely enough, LarryinColorado. Sorry! I thought you were saying the pass was only good between peak rush hour times.
(I you live in Colorado, aren't we having fantastic winter weather? Shhh... don't tell anyone else.)
