Forthcoming Bamberg visit
Posted by Barry on 2010-08-06 00:59:17
This thread seems to have gone all round the universe since I started it! Anyway, I now have found a fewo... in Hallstadt! Quite pleased about this, as it seemed a nice place when we walked there a few years ago from Bamberg and maybe, this time, we will find the Golden Lion open. My efforts to understand the VGN ticket/tariff structure now concentrating on the Mobi-card, which I understand can be bought for different time periods. However, the 7-day card seems to be the best option for two people. Think to use for Bamberg - Hallstadt, we need a Zone 2+t - now trying to figure out where else we could get to with this combination. The calculator on the VGN website works pretty well but needs a bit of practice. Another conundrum (if anyone wishes to take up the challenge!) is to find the cheapest way to get to Altenburg (our Ryanair airport to get back home) for 2 people. I looked at various ticket combinations using the Egronet but it seems to me that 2 Landekarte (Bayern and Thuringia/Sachsen etc) at a total of €56 is the best option - any offers? Meanwhile, thanks again everyone for all the help and suggestions in planning our visit - proves to me that co-operation and not competition is most efficient!
