Need advice

I want to spend two days in Bavaria%26#39;s nature but I don%26#39;t know which is the best city or village to go or whre to stay. I need some help and I appreciate if you give me the name of web sites to look.

Is it too difficult to reach there from Vienna? I want to stay 3-4 days in Vienna and then in Bavaria.

Thank you a lot

Closest to Austria if coming from Vienna and one of the nicest spots in the Alps:

Berchtesgaden/Lake Königssee

Hallo Silver,

I am from Athens, Greece, too and I am planning to go to Bavaria. Why don%26#39;t you stay in Munich? It%26#39;s a big city with lots of sightseeing and if you rent a car you can also visit Oberbayern where some magnificent castles are located.

Useful sites: www.bayern.de , www.munich.com, www.wissen.de (Some useful info but I am not sure if it is in English or just German)

hope I helped you

Bavarian nature is quite diverse. If you are thinking about seeing mountains and castles, Berchtesgadener Land is a good option. I find the so-called %26quot;Fränkische Schweiz%26quot; a very nice area, too, with a lot of small villages amidst 30m-high rocks and smaller mountains. It is further away from Vienna though. Staying in Munich might be a good idea, too, for the public transport will bring you to places like Starnberger See, where some nice walking is possible, too.

You can inquire about train transportation on either of two websites:

Unfortunately as the train ride crosses borders you will not be able to get the price without both.

Wien (Vienna) -%26gt; Salzburg on OEBB

then

Salzburg -%26gt; ? (Muenchen, Fuessen, Berchtesgaden) on Bahn.

It is about 4 hours to Salzburg.
