Holidays

[Two Gun Bob]

I did a one day trip to Salzburg from Munich, on a Bayern train ticket which gives you a good discount.

However, we wanted to do the Eagles Nest Tour but the logistics of our time there just didn't fit but I believe is a very good day out, Hitler's gaff in the mountains now has a restaurant and the coach trip to the nest is supposed to give you a stunning Alpine view.

We just did a minibus tour of Salzburg and as you say there's a lot of activity around the Sound of Music and Mozart, beautiful place though.

Munich is a great City, I'd recommend the poster who's going to have a trip to the Olympic park. There a tour of the Stadium, the BMW (plus Mini and Rolls Royce with prototypes) Showroom which is unlike anything else you'll see, it's even got a bar and restaurant. There's also the world's highest rock museum which affords great views as the tower that houses it looks over Munich for miles. There's also a Sea Life Centre, good for a few hours visit.

Wish we had of made time for the Eagles Nest.

We have a crowded holiday schedule this year and had Munich pencilled in for 2026. Then I found out that the Olympic Stadium is closing in October this year for a long renovation so we decided to cram in a visit in July this year. Its so iconic that I really want to see it before the start messing with it (although I'm sure that they'll preserve the look of it).

The stadium and the trip out to see Neuschwanstein Castle are the two big things I am looking forward to.

Hope you have a good time, look out for Lillian Board Way at the Stadium, a tribute to the British athlete who died in Munich in 1970 at the the age of just 22.

Just seen the Olympic Park Tower is closed until 2026, must be refurbishing the area in stages.

I'd never heard of Neuschwanstein Castle until earlier this year when a racehorse named Neuschwsnstein was running and one of the pundits on Racing TV was saying what a fantastic place it is to visit.

I travelled from Innsbruck to Munich on train a few years back - views were spectacular and definitely an area I'd visit again.
Munich itself I preferred the outdoor beer gardens to the halls types. Went to the Olympic stadium and I remember the BMW museum being very close.
The stadium I remember walking around and because of its design you could walk in the tv gantry areas and get a great view. I also recall a small booth like museum explaining in video form the atrack in 1972. So much history in that one place alone.

Wish we had of made time for the Eagles Nest.

It's a very interesting place, we were in Berchesgarten for a day and a half and went up to the Eagle's Nest late in the afternoon not sure if we were too late. Luckily we caught the last shuttle bus and made it. The walk along the tunnel to the lift is kinda spooky when you think of the characters who'd been there in WW2. The lift is spectacular and the walk along what was the sun terrace is filled with information plaques. There's a coffee shop outside and the views are just spectacular. Well worth a visit. Plenty of videos on You tube.

Had a look on Google Earth and probably wouldn't be able to visit. Checked the You tube and it's beyond spectacular.

I did Salzburg in January last year for 2 nights and for me it was just OK
Did the cable car up the mountain over looking Salzburg.
I think January in general in Europe is just drab after Christmas/New Year
