Bavaria Large scary Christmas creatures
Posted: Fri November 6, 2009 11:54 AM UTC
Greetings to all
2 years ago during the Christmas season in Regensberg, my wife and I were lucky enough to see during a large celebration downtown a parade of more than a dozen large scary monster like creatures interacting with the crowd. In fact my wife was grabbed by one but I did not get a picture. I understand they have historical significance and are part of the Norse/Germanic pagan culture. Possibly pertaining to the onset of Ragnarok? Can anyone tell me what they are called and point me in the right direction to learn more
Thanks
Danke Schon

Garmisch-Partenkirchen buses/trains to Ettal?
Posted: Thu November 5, 2009 02:19 PM UTC
We'll be in GaP in December, and wondered what our alternatives to renting a car to get to Ettal might be. We'd like to head up that way for dinner one evening, but I'm not sure whether buses regularly service that route, and if they do, how late they run.

Many thanks!

Munich End of Ocktoberfest
Posted: Thu October 22, 2009 08:33 AM UTC
What is Munich like duing the last two days of Ocktoberfest, and the day or two after?
I'll be doing business in Germany in October. I'm not a beer drinker, nor am I partial to polkas, so I consider Octoberfest to be a bit of an impediment, not an opportunity. Unfortunately the only times that we could fit in a visit to Munich would be a day or two after or a day or two before the end.
Are hotel prices still rediculously high? Are they still crowded? Do visitors vacate the city immediately? Or do they start leaving before the end?
Thanks,
HB

Munich Metro pass
Posted: Wed September 16, 2009 09:31 PM UTC
Hello everyone,

There are a lot of questions about train passes here and about which tickets are good for which zone... I figured i'd throw mine in too...
I'm staying at Four points by Sheraton Munchen Olympiapark located at Helene-Mayer-Ring 12. I plan to attend the festivities at Oktoberfest and then also take side trips to Neuschwanstein Castle and also to Dachau.
Would it be cost efficient to get a 2 day pass for zones 1-3, 1-6 or just by point to point tickets?

Please help an uneducated englishman thats only knowledge of Munich is Oktoberfest and Bayern Munich.

Thanks

Munich train longer than platform
Posted: Tue September 15, 2009 08:41 PM UTC
years ago sometimes the train coming to rome from outside italy was longer than the platform at the large station in rome. people could pick up their things and move forward until they came to car that was next to the platform and exit. or exit the door of their car and walk on the rocks the length of maybe several cars until they got to the platform.
does this sometimes occur at munich or any place else in germany or europe that you know of.

Munich Driving from Munich to Dinkelsbuhl and Rothenburg - what road to choose?
Posted: Wed September 2, 2009 09:16 PM UTC
Hi,

I am going to be driving from the center of Munich to Dinkelsbuhl and Rothenburg ob der Tauber. I can follow Autobahn 8 and then Autobahn 7 north. The shorter route would be to take Autobahn 8 to Augsburg, and then take Route 2 north and then route 25. I am not sure how much traffic I can expect on the autobahn, and which route would be faster. Any thoughts?
