Hi all Rick Steve Forum member
(This is my first time posting a topic on this website. If I did something inappropriate I apologize in advance.)
I plan to go to Switzerland-Germany between 1-14 September
My plan:
//Day 1 : Thun Lake - sleep : Interlaken
//Day 2 : Schilthorn, Lauterbrunnen - sleep : Interlaken
//Day 3 : Brienze Lake - sleep : Grand Hotel Giessbach
//Day 4 : Jungfraujoch - sleep : Grindelwald
//Day 5 : Grindelwald First, Bachalpsee - sleep : Grindelwald
//Day 6 : Pilatus/Titlis - sleep : Lucerne
//Day 7 : Munich Altstadt - sleep : Munich
//Day 8 : Linderhof - sleep : Munich
//Day 9 : Neuschwanstein & Fussen - sleep : Munich
//Day 10 : Zugspitze - sleep : Munich
//Day 11 : Heldelberg - sleep : Heidelberg
//Day 12 : Bacharach to St.Goar (Down stream river cruise) then train back - sleep : Bacharach
//Day 13 : Burg Eltz - sleep : Bacharach
//Day 14 : Frankfurt (and flying back from Frackfurt airport at 20:40 pm)
I want to ask:
1. Has anyone ever been on a trip similar to this? What type of pass do you recommend buying? (I have a tentative idea of maybe buying a Berner Oberland Pass + buying separate tickets Zurich > Interlaken, Lucerne > Munich
2. I have never been to Germany. If based on this trip roughly What kind of travel ticket should I buy? (I think I will travel mainly by train in Germany.)
3. Besides Neuschwanstein You have to reserve early. Are there any places on this scheduled trip that require booking?
4. Is the travel schedule too tight? Do you have any special advice?
Thank you very much in advance!
