    Getting TO/AROUND: Guide books recommend taking a guided tour from Munich to the castle unless you are feeling adventurous. Tours are available via bus and train. Our late start elimitated the possibility of the tour option, so we took the adventurous route.

    Taking the train to Fussen was easy and scenic. When we arrived at the train station, we picked up a schedule for the return trip. If you decide to go on the train unescorted (not part of a tour group) definitely do this. Especially if you arrive late in the day. The train station was closed before dark, and we ended up helping all the other adventure travellers figure out how to get back to Munich. One couple knew how to print a schedule from the automated Fahrkarten machine, and that, combined with our schedule, helped about 10 people figure out how to get back to Munich that night - by chaning trains twice. The train from Munich TO Fussen had been direct : )

    And one more tip - get the Bayern ticket. It's only 30 Euro and covers up to 5 people, roundtrip!

     Nice tips but, as you suggest, it's a shame you didn't get to see the rest of Fuessen.

     Hi - thanks for visiting my nascent opus on Germany. We did not get to Fussen and the castles. Looks like you had superb weather - the images are great. n.

     EXCELLENT point about the Bayern Ticket. Too many tourists waste a railpass day when up to 5 people can go for EUR 30 total... PLUS you can use all Munich public transport for the evening when you get back! Cheers, Mark
