Aircraft

Munich's Franz-Josef-Strauss Airport (code: MUC) is a large international airport with daily flights from many European and North American gateway cities. There are at least two ways to get to Ringberg from the airport, by automobile and by train.
  • Renting a car is a very sensible option, particularly if groups of participants are travelling together. All major international rental-car companies service Munich airport. Follow the instructions for travelling by car.
  • Munich airport is tied into the the surface train (S-Bahn) network, and getting to Munich's central railway station ("Hauptbahnhof") is fairly easy. Afterwards follow the instructions for using the railway.


Railway

If you are in Munich's central railway station ("Hauptbahnhof") you must purchase a ticket for Tegernseee. When you arrive in Tegernsee, take a taxi for the last few kilometers to Ringberg Castle. The schedule of the "Deutsche Bahn" provides further information.


Car

From Munich follow the Salzburg Autobahn (A8) to the Holzkirchen exit. Drive south on the Bundesstraße 318 (B318) until you reach Gmund. Continue on B318 through Bad Wiessee and past the turnoff for Weißach, until you come to a traffic light. Turn right on Bundesstraße 307 (B307) toward Achensee. After approximately one kilometer you will see a sign indicating the turn-off to Schloß Ringberg. A detailed map can be found on the websites of MapQuest (Ringberg Castle is located at the Schloßstraße).
