You are right. You must be in very good shape to do all that bicycling!Wish we were going to be in t

In reading about the different German rail passes I am confused. My husband I are beginning a riverboat cruise in Bamberg. We will have 3 days before and 3 days after to travel around some. We are both over 60. I think the Bahn 50 card which is about 247 Euros for the 2 of us according hotels west palm beach to the bahn/de website would be applicable without any restrictions...but I'm not sure? On the other hand the German Rail Twin Pass for 323 Euros seems also to be applicable. I probably missed something in reading about the tickets, because I didn't see the difference in the 2 passes hotels west palm beach except the price. There must be something, because why would travelers buy the German Rail Twin Pass with the Bahn 50 so much less expensive? This is what I am thinking about doing. We are early risers hotels west palm beach I figure we may not get back to this area. We would like to see the towns/cities stroll around. We have seen enough museums of all kinds over the years, so taking those in is not a priority. We plan to take city tours if they fit into our day, if available. I know it sounds like a lot, but most of the towns/cities on each end are fairly close to each other. This plan after debarkation in Trier is not set in stone.
For 8 days of travel hotels west palm beach the German Twin Pass is very cheap - an 8-day pass would cost p.p. $307 or about $38 per day for totally unlimited travel on virtually any train - just hop on and off and also for that day on S-Bahns in cities - that is about 27 euros a person hotels west palm beach per dauy for an 8-day pass/1 mo period.
That said in Bavaria all your trips would be covered by the Bavarian Pass - 29 euros for two or more travelers but you must take regional trains - much slower hotels west palm beach than ICE trains that you could use with the pass - but obviously cheaper.
seems like Bahn Cards give discounts off regular fares (not saver fares) so would not be practical for your plans - good for folks in Germany a long long time. Well a quick look says that but not sure.
BahnCard 50 gives, hotels west palm beach as the name implies and as is explained hotels west palm beach on the website linked above, hotels west palm beach a discount of 50% on standard fares, which means you still have to buy tickets but for half the price. No hopping hotels west palm beach on and off as you like as with a pass.
The BahnCard is of use to residents or long-term visitors but hardly for short-term visitors. Also, note that you buy a subscription, the BahnCard will be renewed automatically after a year if you do not cancel the subscription in time, i.e. by six weeks before it runs out.
Assuming you mnean Regensburg (Regensberg is a village in Northern Switzerland), all your destinations except Schw bisch Hall are located within the federal state of Bavaria. In other words, all these trips except hotels west palm beach to and from Schw bisch Hall can be done even cheaper on a Bayern-Ticket for 26 /day for the two of you if you use local and regional trains.
Lander Tickets not only give free train travel - albeit only on slower and IME much less comfy regional trains but also give free travel on buses and metros for the whole region hotels west palm beach for the whole day to boot!
Trier to Luxembourg is a very short train ride - from Luxembourg to Cologne hotels west palm beach you'd go back thru Trier so maybe stay the night in this very pleasant and very historical city and do a day trip from it to Luxembourg?
Trier has two of the most intact Roman relics outside of Rome in the Porta Negra - a huge stone-block city gate and an ancient Roman Temple converted hotels west palm beach eons ago to a Christian Basilica - it also has the Karl Marx House in which the philosopher was born and which is not a museum/study center to this very influential person (for good or bad but...) - Trier has other lovely old churches and a pleasant plesant pedestrian shopping zone.
and a boat along the Mosel all the way to Trier I presume - along what many consider to be Europe's most pretty river valley - a sinously twisting river with vineyard-carpeted slopes on each side often rising about a thousand feet up - ruined castles dotting hills along the way - unbelievably cute riverside wine towns - ah yeh - I have bicycled hotels west palm beach up and down the valley dozens of times and never get tired of such a unique scene.
You are right. You must be in very good shape to do all that bicycling!Wish hotels west palm beach we were going to be in that area for a longer period of time, but unfortunately we're not. We're flying back to Boston 4 days after the cruise.
Have biked through Cologne and Dusseldorf many times and went to Aachen hotels west palm beach once - those are IMO three of the least romantic looking cities in Germany - all suffering from serious war damage and thus modern cities lacking old-world charm we see in towns like Hiedelberg - another option to visit and it is close to Frankfurt Airport - Cologne's cathedral is spectacular and it is a nice enough town but unless you have other reasons for going there or Dusseldorf I think there are more interesting and better looking towns. Speyer, on the Rhine near Frankfurt is also a charmer with a neat old Schloss on the river. Just a thought.
Thanks for that info. I wasn't expecting too much from Dusseldorf, but I thought Aachen was supposed to be a nice "charming" place. I would like to see the Dom in Cologne. Aachen is right across the border from Maastrich, which we have been to so maybe it is not worth the time visiting....although hotels west palm beach the 2 places are in different countries. I have read that Speyer is worth a visit, so maybe I will consider that instead of Aachen???
Well I may have missed something in Aachen - it does have Charlemagne's cathedral (I think Charlie's - Aachen or Aix-la-Cheapelle as it was called then was his base and capital of the western Holy Roman Empire but the rest of the town really was a let down for me - there is a thermal spa with water that tastes absolutely horrible - but maybe I did not look around enough hotels west palm beach - anyway did not seem remarkable but any Germany hotels west palm beach city to me is interesting and nice in its own way.
If looking for a nice old-world looking city in that area look at Bonn, chosen in part by the Allies for for the postwar German capital - of West Germany anyway in part because it was not destroyed in war so you have a lovely old town centet and also the Mozart House but perhaps you will have seen Bonn on your cruise?
