Details on transport to the start of a route, or from the end of a track, are given at the start of each route description. However, some routes may begin in town (for example, in Füssen, Mittenwald and Oberammergau). Oberammergau is especially interesting if you are without a car as the starting points of most of the walks described can be reached on foot.

Whether you travel around by car or bus depends on how you want to spend your holiday. Those who want to do a lot of travelling will find a car the most comfortable option. If you are content to stay in one place, or intend to spend a lot of time in mountain huts, then you can probably do without a car.

Information on timetables (Fahrpläne) and discounts for trains and buses can be obtained from the German Federal Railway’s website at www.bahn.de (also in English), and for the local bus network in Oberbayern from www.rvo-bus.de (German). See also the English-language site www.bayern.by for travel discounts.

As discounts on transport services are subject to change, it pays to enquire at the local tourist offices about current offers (or visit one of the above websites). They can also help you with timetables and so forth.
