Upcoming visit

Thanks Nick, for your suggestions. Is that three-hours train travel time the roundtrip time, or each way? I suspect it must be roundtrip, but then there's the challenge for Auslander in negotiating the schedule and ticketing and all, which can cause further delay. The pubs at the beginning of the hike open at 1100, so if we start out from Bamberg around 0900 we'd time it well, although admittedly we wouldn't complete the expedition and be back in Bamberg until late afternoon in any case. We appreciate the fact that there's much to see and do in Bamberg that could tempt us to stay within the town limits during such a short visit, but the Fünf-Seidla-Steig just seems like such a cool thing to do, with major bragging rights attached when we return home, that it really appeals. The major hurdle is the fact that the fifth brewery is closed the day we'll make the hike. I'm pleading with them via email to accommodate us somehow. Fingers crossed!
