What is best way to travel from Dresden to Seiffen? Any hotel recommendations?
It looks like Seiffen is only accessible by bus, and there are a number of bus stops. According to the Bahn website, there is a 2 hr connection, a 27 min regional train to Freiberg, followed by a 1hr 15 min bus to Seiffen Schule (but there are about 6 other bus stops in Seiffen.
Have never been to Seiffen but here is a page with hotel listings. A couple of them say they're near the center of town. There are several pensions, rooms, inns with rooms and inns with rooms and restaurants, as well on this website. Hope you find something you like. http://www.seiffen.de/gastgeber1.cfm?art=1
thanks all - a friend and I were in Seiffen during the Christmas Markets in 2009 but we were with a (wonderful) tour and traveled there from Prague. This time (not during market time) I will be in Dresden. I loved the town so much, I want my husband to see it. Looks like the train to Freiberg and bus will have to be my choice....I'll see if I can talk my husband into renting a car. I remember there weren't many parking places when we were there but that was during market time - maybe other times aren't so crowded? Besides, the hotel you recommended, James, looks wonderful!!!!!
