Venue & Travel

Accommodation

The workshop will take place at Schloss Ringberg, the Max Planck Society's conference site overlooking Lake Tegernsee in the foothills of the Bavarian alps, about an hour from Munich.

There is a single, flat rate fee for the conference which includes accommodation and all meals. There is no registration fee. The fee, along with any additional costs (eg. for drinks) should be paid at the end of the stay. All major credit cards and cash (in Euros) will be accepted.

Breakfasts, lunches and dinners will be provided for all attendees starting with lunch on Tuesday 10 April and ending with breakfast on Saturday 14 April. Thus, we anticipate that most attendees will arrive before lunch on the morning of 10 April and will leave after breakfast on 14 April. (The meeting itself will begin after lunch on 10 April and will end at 6pm on 13 April.)

In order to assign rooms, we need to know your arrival and departure dates so please send these ASAP. Please also let us know if you have any dietary requirements. [Deadline: 15 March.]

Travel

We recommend arriving at Ringberg by train on the morning of 10 April. If you plan to arrive in Munich on 9 April, we suggest that you take a hotel room in Munich and travel on to Tegernsee the next morning. A list of recommended hotels near to the airport and near to the main station is provided below.

There are regular direct train services that connect Munich airport with Munich main station, journey time is approximately 45 minutes. There are hourly trains direct from Munich main station to Tegernsee, journey time is approximately 1 hour; it is then a short taxi ride from Tegernsee station to the castle.

Train schedules can be checked and tickets bought in advance via the Deutsche Bahn website (site in English). When searching for times and tickets you will need to search for "Munich Airport T" for the airport and "Tegernsee" for Tegernsee. (If you break your journey at Munich main station, search for "Munich (München)".)

The Schloss Ringberg website also has a travel page that may help you to plan your journey.

On saturday morning (14 April), we plan to provide shuttles from Ringberg Castle to Munich airport. Further details will be announced in due course.
