Bike Hire in the English Garden

Hi

Quick question - I%26#39;ve had a look round on the internet and can%26#39;t find an answer...

I am visiting Munich in a few weeks, and thought it would be a nice idea to hire a bike for a couple of hours to explore the English Garden - does anyone know of anywhere where I can do this (near to the Garden so I don%26#39;t have to cycle through town (I prefer to walk and soak up the scenerey) and how much I would expect to pay for 1 or 2 hours?

Thanks

Dave

Detox spas, in Germany.

I%26#39;m about to undergo several treatments of a special type of Chemo therapy due to my mestatic colon cancer to my lungs.

What I am looking for is a Holistic noninvasive cancer treatment that I can use in combined with my regular treatment of chemo.

I live in Ramstein, Germany now, so really anywhere in the surrounding area. Munchen, Heidelberg or Kaiserslaughtern

I just want to be as healthy as I can be during the chemo.

You might look at the website for Baden-Wuerttemberg tourism www.tourismus-bw.de . Baden-Wuerttemberg has more spas than any other German state, and many of them are health related. If you can%26#39;t find suitable information on their website, go to the brochure section on the German part of their website and have them send you for free Baden-Württemberg 2009 erleben which in the back has a list of spas in BW, many of them health related. If you plan to visit Baen-Wuerttemberg ever, it%26#39;a also the best source of things to see and do.

|||

I don%26#39;t know if you speak German or not, but if you do, I think I would post this question over on the German board. You might start looking online under Heilpraktiker organizations.

Have you spoken to your Dr. about some recommendations? If you have a Heilpraktiker Dr. they should be able to give you some help in finding a place. Contact your insurance company too, as they will be able to find you places that they will cover perhaps.

Parking outside the green zone

We%26#39;re driving to Berlin tomorrow from Poland, and just came across the information about the need for a green sticker to driver/park in the centre. Since these have to be pre-ordered, it%26#39;s too late for us to do this, so it looks like we%26#39;ll need to park outside the centre and use public transport.

Since the car is a late-model BMW, my friend is concerned about security. Can anyone recommend a safe place to park on the east side of Berlin, outside the central zone? It would preferably be adjacent to a U/S-bahn or DB station.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

The Umweltzone covers the area within the Ringbahn. You could park at Südkreuz station which has DB and S-Bahn connections, and two very large indoor parking garages.

|||

Try the parking lots near the Landsberger Allee S Bahn station. It is just outside the %26quot;Ring%26quot; and has good public transportation possibilities

|||

I%26#39;ve been looking at the BVG route map, and it indicates that some stations have Park %26amp; Ride lots (for example, Friedrichshagen or Wuhletal). Does anyone know if you can leave cars overnight in such lots (e.g. from Friday night until Sunday afternoon?)

Thanks for the suggestions so far!

Hi,

My wife and I are driving to Berlin this weekend and also need an umweltplakette.

Is it posible to by one before we go or can we buy one in Germany/Berlin?

We live in Denmark and are driving over Hamburg to Berlin.

Thanks in advance

Jean

|||

Ok... a little googeling gave the answer.

The umweltplakette can be bought at vehicle inspection stations in Denmark.

Perhaps the same can be done in Poland?

Good cafees in Charlottenburg?

Hi,

My wife and I travel to Berlin next week. We are staying at a hotel in Charlottenburg - near

Berlino, Kurfuerstendamm.

We don%26#39;t want to eat breakfast at the hotel. Can anybody recommend some good cafess with breakfast in this area?

Thanks in advance

Jean

|||

KuDamm is a long street, so it would be best if you said which hotel it is.

|||

Hi Lylou

Its Hotel Château at Knesebeckstrasse a side street to Kurfuerstendamm.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Jean

|||

Hi Jean,

you will find plenty little Coffeejoints around

Knesebeckstrasse or a short stroll apart Savignyplatz, Bleibtreustr just to name a few.

Enjoy your stay

Achim

|||

Thank your for the help.

Is it better to go with a tour group to Oberammergau?

I would like to take my grandkids to Oberammergau in 2010. My granddaughter also wants to see France. Would it be best to do our own thing or go with a group? I thought about seeing Switzerland, also. My Dad%26#39;s people were from there.

|||

With a youngster, I would not go in a tour group. Too inflexible and usually too %26quot;verbose%26quot;, i.e. the guides cover more things in more detail than a child would appreciate.

Look into lying into an %26quot;open jaw%26quot; flight arrangement, flying into Zuerich and returning from Munich. Then you can go either by train, at least partially, or by car.

Depending how much time you have and from which area your father%26#39;s people are from, take the train from Zueric there, or take the train to Interlaken (Ost) and on to Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen to visit that part of the Swiss Alps. Then take the train to Lindau (Germany) and pick up your car there and %26quot;do%26quot; the parts of Bavaria near Oberammergau - - - Fuessen/Neuschwanstein Castle, Linderhof palace (on the way to Oberammergau), Garmisch Partenkirchen. I assume you don%26#39;t plan to see the Passion Play in Oberammergau (not sure it is on in 2010). It would be quite hard on a child.

|||

From what I have seen, the prices for the tours that include Obereammergau are punitive so I would go on my own.

train from airport

Hello,

It%26#39;s my first time in Berlin and i will be at Schoenefeld airport about eleven o%26#39;clock at night. I am wonderring if there is a train from the airport to the center of the city or it%26#39;s too late? If there isn%26#39;t how much it will cost a taxi?

|||

BVG timetable

fahrinfo-berlin.de/Fahrinfo/bin/query.bin/en…

From: SXF

It%26#39;s not too late for trains. The airport is anyway connected 24 hours by public transport.

Single ticket is EUR 2,80.

You can use any combination of local public transport to reach your destination in Berlin

- regional trains (RB, RE)

- S-Bahn

- U-Bahn (metro)

- trams

- buses

and even some ferries.

Taxi is EUR 25-35 depending where in central Berlin.

|||

Thanks so much for your reply

|||

Hello - does the 2.50euro ticket do you throughout your journey? Is this the most cost effective ticket for two or is there perhaps a group ticket or something? Thanks, Tam

|||

%26quot;does the 2.50euro ticket do you throughout your journey?%26quot;

Yes, but from Schoenefeld you need a ticket for the ABC zones, for 2,80 euros.

Ticket options here:
