teh www.youtel.de is really cheap!!! not such a comfort like the eifelstern, but it's ok...

the weather looks good (for german weather ;o)
friday saturday there's a chance of rain with 40%. temperature: 20°C at the hottest moments and 9°C at the coldest moments...

that's now

Does anyone know the easiest/cheapest way to get to the site from Frankfurt Airport?

Any ideas on how long it will take to drive, get on the train or taxi?

Thanks,

Rob

you come from the uk? so you take the ryan air? because ryan air take frankfurt hahn airport. that's an old army airbase (but it looks good ;o) and everything is new...)

frankfurt hahn is not directly in frankfurt (you must drive a while for the redlight district - it's 124km away from frankfurt city ;o)

if you come from frankfurt hahn (with ryan air) you drive with a car 1,5 hours to bitburg.

here is a map...

sorry, but i don't know, if there's a bus or a train, but i try to get some informations for you!

German train system is good, and tickets cover more than one person - I'm sure one of the German guys will correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that tickets often cover four people under one low charge.

 

[shamrock]

yes that's right, but in the moment, the german rail company has a new system. nobody knows how it works ;o)

if you take your booking some weeks before you can save some money, means, it would be cheaper.

just ceck http://www.bahn.de <- german rail for more infos.

there's still this system, that five guys can travel with one travelcard an save some money.

here are some info i get for you:
if you take a train at frankfurt hahn, you can travel with five guys for ca. 45 euro (for five persons) to bitburg.
you drive 3,5 hours with a train.
but first you've to travel a little bit by bus...
