Free Bus and Train Travel in the Bavarian Forest from May 2010
Categories: General Travel Info
From May 2010, the village of Bayerisch Eisenstein (Bayerisch Eisenstein vacation rentals | Bayerisch Eisenstein travel guide) on the Bavarian-Czech border will be offering free bus and train travel on more than 1,100 kilometres of routes in the Bavarian Forest area to guests staying in the village.
The area covered stretches nearly 100 kilometres to the south to close to the Austrian border, 50 kilometres to the north to Furth im Wald and nearly 50 kilometres to the West, to close to the Danube river, including the whole of the Bavarian Forest National Park. The scheme is being financed by a levy on each guest night in the village, paid for by the hotels, guest houses and holiday apartment providers.
Margaret Leach of Bavarian Forest Holidays, owner of 5 star holiday apartments in the village, has warmly welcomed this additional service for guests: “We already have increasing numbers of guests making the 11 hour train journey from the UK to Bayerisch Eisenstein or flying to Munich (Munich vacation rentals | Munich travel guide) or Prague and taking the train to get here for their holiday. Free bus and train travel once they are here is a major added bonus and will hopefully also encourage guests who arrive by car to make more use of public transport, with huge benefit for the environment.”
As well as free bus and train travel, the new guest card for visitors will also provide free use of the special ski bus in the winter for travel to the nearby Arber ski slopes, free mini golf in the village and discounts on a range of tourist attractions in the area.
