Chicago-Munich

We are leaving Chicago late afternoon on your non-stop flight to Munich. Cocktails and dinner will be served en route. We chose to fly into Munich because it is a much smaller airport than Frankfurt, therefore much easier to navigate.

One hour before landing they will serve breakfast. After checking through immigration and customs we will board the train to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. This town is nestled in the foothills of the Alps with Germany’s highest mountain at your doorstep. After checking into the hotel the afternoon is free for your own activities. Maybe you want to explore the town and admire the many murals on the houses of Sonnenstrasse or Frühlingsstrasse. We will meet for dinner at 7:30 and probably will call it a night after that.

 

Day 3, September 20

Zugspitze

This will be a spectacular tour. We board the train in Garmisch and after about 5 miles it turns into a rack and pinion train which will bring us up to the Zugspitzplatt. We will  than switch to the funicular, which will bring us to the peak. We will have lunch there and enjoy the panoramic view far into Austria and Switzerland maybe even as far as Italy.  On the way down we will board a different funicular which will take us to the valley.  We will end our day in Patenkirchen where we will have a nice dinner.

 

Day 4, September 21

Fairytale Castles

Today we are following the footsteps of King Ludwig II. We will take a bus tour to Neuschwanstein. Many of you know this castle from Disneyland but now you will see it in “true scale”.

famous churches in Germany.

 

Day 5, September 22

Munich

We are on the way to Munich to see the ICE maintenance facility. This is a temple of modern technology. Within 1 hour the whole train can be repaired, stock-up and cleaned. The train recognizes any problems during its travel and reports it to the facility and when the train comes in all the spare parts are already in place. Afterwards we are invited to see a Modelrailroad Club.

Mittenwald-Innsbruck

We board the train to Mittenwald. This little town is most famous for the violin and instrument making. If we are lucking we can even witness a wood carver at work.
