I would like to catch the train from Seefeld in Tryol (Austria) to munich but would like to go via Neuschwanstein as a day trip on our way. Is this possible by train?
What is the cheapest tickets to buy?

Not the ideal itinereray to do by train. If you could reach Garmisch really early you could do a bus tour from there, they have one about once a week. There are also regional buses you could take, takes a bit of time though. To see how that would work look at bahn.de
Garmisch-Partenkirchen Bahnhof to Füssen Bahnhof
(takes about 2.30h)
Cheapest ticket would be Bayern-Ticket valid from Mittenwald, so for the austrian part seefeld-mittenwald you%26#39;d need an extra ticket.

Actually it would be possible to take a local train from Garmisch to Reutte in Tirol. It is about 5-6 km from Füssen, unfortunately not connected by rail. There is a rather irregular bus connection, but you could as well take a taxi from Reutte to Füssen - it shouldn%26#39;t be too expensive. Then do your sightseeing there and take a train from Füssen to Munich. The Bayern-Ticket is valid on both lines ( Garmisch-Reutte and Füssen-Munich).

Hi Altamiro, are taxis from Reutte Bahnhof to Fussen readily available or are taxi drivers faced with regulatory issues crossing the border (i.e. having to be licensed in both countries)? Thanks.

Reutte is approx. 23 km from Füssen.
You can continue to Vils, which is also on the Ausserfernbahn (the railroad Garmisch - Reutte - Pfronten). Vils is 11 km from Füssen.
There is one closer stop %26quot;Füssen-Ullrichsbrücke%26quot;, but this is only a stop, no railway station. In summer you can hike from there to Neuschwanstein. But I fear this is not the right place to find a taxi.
The Ausserfernbahn is covered by the Bavaria Ticket. Also the part where it goes trough Austria (it is not connected to any Austrian railway line).
Taxis can drive you across borders. There are anyway no border controls between the Schengen countries, thus you barely will notice it.
If the taxi is allowed to pick up passengers for the way back is another question. But as this is rather a short drive, this won%26#39;t play a role.
There are also other route options.
DB timetable
http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/e
From: Seefeld in Tirol
To: Hohenschwangau
Hohenschwangau is the bus stop next to the ticket booth of Neuschwanstein castle.
From Mittenwald on you can use the Bavaria Ticket. It maybe however more practical to buy it in Garmisch or other railway stations where you have to change anyway and can buy it from a ticket machine. This ticket is valid one day for all local public transport in Bavaria. This includes the local trains (there are no others on your route) the RVO buses (to Hohenschwangau). And also the U-Bahn, trams and buses in Munich.
Bavaria Ticket Single (1 person) is EUR 18,00
Bavaria Ticket (2-5 persons) is EUR 25,00
The ticket is on weekdays only valid past 9am.

Good Afternoon Sarnads, Melbourne,
We seen your post, and are planning to be in Seefeld, Austria for the first time in October, 2007; we are wondering if you or other travelers have made the trip to Seefeld, and if so, were you able to find your way to see the attractions in the area. We are traveling by train and wanted to stay in Seefeld, and visit attractions such as Linderhof Castle, Oberammegau, or a day tour to Munich to the Oktoberfest Celebrations. Thus far we have not been able to find day tours that will provide this service from Seefeld or Innsbruck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sailorwoman, Clearwater, FL.
