Banking
There is a local Bank (Raiffeisenbank im Isarwinkel) that provides an ATM located at Marktstrasse 12. Good news: US-based ATM cards actually work here, as do credit cards!
Marktstrasse 12, 83661 Lenggries
Phone: +49 (0) 80 42 - 9185-0
Opening times:
Mo, Tu, Wed, Fr: 8 am - 12:30 pm, 1:30 pm - 4 pm
Thursday: 8 am - 12:30 pm, 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Many shops and gas stations accept credit cards too, but you cannot rely on it. In many cases, being ready to pay cash is the safest.
We recommend:
Bringing enough cash with you (Euros) to cover the first few days of your stay. The ATMs at the airport will accept US-based ATM cards, so get a few euros when you arrive.
The current exchange rate is roughly 1.55, so for every Euro you have to pay US $1.55.
If a shop accepts credit cards, use that instead to save your cash and get a better conversion rate.
Go to our local ATM if you need additional cash.
Gas Stations
There are several local gas stations located at Lenggrieser Strasse, Bad Tölz (about 5 miles near Lenggries.) Typically, you fill up your car first at the pump, and then pay inside. Some gas stations accept credit cards, but it’s safest to ask inside before you start pumping if you don’t have cash.
Cabs
“Mini cars” are a very popular means of transportation in Germany. These are smaller sized cabs, and less expensive compared to regular cabs. Just call them and ask them to pick you up. Here is one in Lenggries:
Taxi Lenggries Müller-Kruwinnus Funk-Taxi
Bahnhofplatz 2, 83661 Lenggries
Phone +49 (0) 80 42 - 44 47
The town is located at the end of the “Bayrische Oberlandbahn (BOB)”, which is also called the “Green Line”.
