Hi Juli, I hope people wanting to make the same journey find it useful. The trains were very clean and quiet. Walking up and down those steps were fun with all my luggage especially against the crowd. The room at the hotel was very spacious with great views. There will be videos of the places I explored from there early in the New Year. Thank you so much for watching. Have a great Christmas if I don't catch you before 🙂👍Paul

Thank you very much Aishu. I will try my best to make your premiere tomorrow 🙂

I have a lot more stuff to come from Germany and Austria in the New Year where I visit lakes and mountains. Just waiting for Christmas to be out of the way. Thanks for watching 👍🙂Paul

Hi Donna, probably did more talking in this video than I do in total all year 😂 No crunching on this one but all the good stuff will be getting rolled out in the New Year. Now whether KZfaq thinks it's good is another matter 😂 Thank you very much for coming along for the premiere. Have a great week 👍🙂 The Grinch

Thank you very much Aishu. I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂

I thought the video would make a good plug for my up and coming videos from Berchtesgaden in the New Year and noted no one on KZfaq had done a video on the journey so I filled the gap. It will be quicker by car but I suspect a bit more expensive, certainly for me anyway, plus no hassle with parking when using trains/buses. All the main attractions in Berchtesgaden can be got to from that bus station and all free with a guest card. Not free really cos you pay 3.15 euros a day tourist tax. Thank you very much for coming along for the premiere. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul

Hi Alessa, I thought the video might be a good plug for my up and coming videos. Just get this dratted Christmas out the way 😂 I will be very surprised if people don't enjoy the views from the trips I made whilst in Berchtesgaden but we'll see in the New Year huh. Thank you very much for coming along for the premiere. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul

Hi Adzey, a bit of a hermit adventure in a packed train station. Quite the hike getting across it. I find it always good to do some homework before you travel so you know what's, what. Thank you very much for coming along for the premiere. I even had bog roll and train spotting on this one 😂Have a great week 🙂👍Paul

@@TheHikingHermit well prepared for the train spotting 🤣🤣 See you again soon Paul 👍

@@adzey156 I have some train numbers you haven't got 😂

Hi Anita, the station is pretty big and I didn't even cover the underground there. I thought i'd show how the journey is done whilst plugging my videos from the region coming early in the New Year. I know when I researched trains to Berchtesgaden from Munich before my trip that no one had done one so filled the gap. Thank you very much for watching. Catch you soon 👍🙂Paul

Hi Julie n Tony, I'm glad you enjoyed the trip. The views from the hotel were great. I'd love to go back to that part of Germany to explore a bit more. The food and beer was good too. Thank you very much for coming along for the premiere. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul

Hi Nanete, that's a big word conducive. There'll be some mountain and lakes videos from the final destination of this train trip early in the New Year. Thank you very much for watching 👍🙂Paul

Hello Anne, no problem you made it. Hope you had a good scoot. The station wasn't hermit friendly but for a hermit I'm actually OK in crowds, I just prefer not to be in them. The hotel and room was pretty good. I enjoyed my stay there and would love to go back to explore more of that area of Germany. Thank you very much for coming along for the premiere. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul

Hi Kenn, it was a good day to make the journey. Public transport can be a bit of a nightmare but on this occasion it was good. Thank you very much for coming along for the premiere. I hope you're feeling a lot better soon. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul

Thank you 🙏🏻 Paul. I’m almost well now. It’s a nightmare experience when my few months here in Germany 🇩🇪😉.

Hi Cara, the hotel room sure had a great view and was in an ideal spot for exploring the area. The food and beer wasn't too bad either. The trip on public transport went well this time. Thank you very much for coming along for the premiere. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul

Hi Yasmin, thought it might also be a good plug for some of up and coming videos. Just get this dratted Christmas out of the way. Hopefully it's helpful to people wanting to know what's involved in the train journey. Thank you very much for coming along for the premiere. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul

Hi Christine, I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. No one on YT has done a video on it so thought I'd do one and shamelessly plug my up and coming videos from Berchtesgaden whilst at it. I wish I'd found out about the ramp on this day it would have saved my knots in cotton arms from almost dropping off. You should have seen me lifting my case to go into the overhead storage racks 😂 I had a fabulous time in the region and hope to return one day to explore some more. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul

Hi Fred, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching 👍🙂Paul

After a few days and trips from that station you get the hang of it😊

I hope people find the video useful and I used it to shamelessly plug my up and coming videos. I will have quite a few videos from the trip coming out early in the New Year. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul

I've only travelled by train once whilst in the US and I found them to be very slow. Tho that was in Boston MA about 25 years ago! I was in Germany and Austria for 2 1/2 weeks and got around everywhere by bus or train. All the good stuff from the trip will be coming early in the New Year. I'm waiting for Christmas to be out of the way when people will be more interested in trips for 2024. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul

Well I hope it's of use to people wanting to make the same trip. The hotel was certainly a great location for exploring the area. And I know I am slacking tho I did add one or two others 😂 The good stuff with lakes and mountains will be coming early in the New Year. Just get Christmas out the way first. Thanks for watching 🙂👍Paul

Hi Matt, I seem to get complemented on my narration a lot. I always think people are having a laugh 😂 It's a skill I never knew I had if not. No one on YT has covered this subject in this video and I thought an opportunity to also shamelessly plug my videos coming early in the new year from the region. Thought I'd get Christmas out the way before releasing those when people will start to think about trips away. Thanks for watching 👍🙂 Paul

@@TheHikingHermit I think a lot of people hate the sound of their own voice. I for one cringe at mine when I hear it 😅 but yours is definitely good mate. And shameless plugs and clickbait are necessary evils for us small youtubers

Hopefully people find the video useful. I did more talking in this video than I do all year 😂 Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week, my friends 🙂👍Paul

Hi Ervin, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thought it was also be a good plug for my up and coming videos from the Berchtesgaden National Park in Germany. Hopefully people to find it useful if they're making the same journey by trains. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul

Hi Somon, well I hope people find it useful if doing the journey plus I thought it would be a good shameless plug for my up and coming videos from Berchtesgaden being released early in the New Year. Munich Hbf is pretty big and I didn't even go into the underground s-bahn and u-bahn on this occasion. I hope you're keeping well. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 👍🙂 Paul

@@TheHikingHermit all good thanks Paul (I’m sure this will be useful for many people especially new people to the region) Have a great Christmas mate 🎄🤠👍

Hi Julie n Lucy, I'd wish I'd known about that ramp around the back cos my knots in cotton arms wondered what was going on. It wasn't hermit friendly going against the crowd down the stairs either but the hermit scowl perhaps helped gain a path thro. The hotel sure had a good view and I will be getting closer to those views on the trips. They'll all be coming out in the New Year. Just get this dratted Christmas over with 😂 Thank you very much for coming along for the premiere. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've never been to the Oktoberfest but wouldn't mind going one year. I hope you have a great time 🙂

Hi Nicole, well no one on YT has done a video on it so thought why not plus a good shameless plug for my up and coming videos from the Berchtesgaden National Park, which I release early in the New Year. For the whole 2 1/2 weeks I spent in Germany and Austria I used public transport to get around and it didn't let me down once. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week and Merry Christmas to you too 🙂👍Paul

Thank you very much, my friend

Hi Phil, it's a video that's not been done on YT so I thought I'd do one and shamelessly plug my up and coming videos whilst at it. I think the German people loved my pronunciations too so I could give them a good laugh 😂 Thanks for watching. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul

Cheers Adzey 👍

@TheHikingHermit No worries mate see you soon 👍

Thanks for the visit 👍

Hi Alex n Alex, your comment made me laugh. Sounds like you're describing the UK train network there 😂 So it's not only the UK that has those issues. Tho they don't tend to dump us in the middle of nowhere they just cancel them instead. Thankfully on this occasion everything went very smoothly. It seems I got very lucky. Thanks very much for watching and commenting 🙂👍 Paul

One thing to add here, the trains used in this video are not from Deutsche Bahn. They're operated by Bayerische Regiobahn, a private operator

Thank you very much for watching. I hope you're keeping well 🙂

This was from August so I'm back now all safe and sound in my hermit cave 😂 It was a great trip 👍

Well I hope the video proves useful for people making the same journey. And no lift, escalator or ramp at the change over station wasn't the best. Thank you very much for watching 🙂👍Paul

Hi Dave, well I thought the video may prove useful to people and took the opportunity to shamelessly plug my up and coming videos from the Berchtesgaden National Park which I'll be releasing early in the New Year. I'd recommend both Munich and Salzburg and that's coming from a hermit who doesn't enjoy cities in the main. Munich Hbf is pretty big and I didn't go into the underground bit on this video. When I first arrived when coming in from the airport I was a bit like a rabbit in the headlights. Give us a shout if you have any questions about the area before you go or even whilst there. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week and Merry Christmas 👍🙂Paul

@@TheHikingHermit will do mate. That’s very kind of you. We will probably find a stellplatz somewhere outside the cities and make our way in on public transport so no doubt we will be following your tours around here at some point. Cheers Paul. 👍👍👍

@@NBNatureTrailvan all the best stuff is yet to come...tours wise

Hi Anna, well I hope people find it useful and no one else on YT has done a video on it from what I can see. Also thought it would a good opportunity to shamelessly plug my up and coming video from the region. It was a lovely place to stay. It's hard keeping up with YT never mind social media. Thank you very much for watching. 🙂👍Paul

Ha ha thanks! That's a Northern English accent as I'm from near Manchester in England. However I know that even KZfaq has difficulty doing the auto translate for subtitles with my accent 😂 so I always add proper manual closed captions to my videos 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙂Paul

Hi Anita, well I think I walked 3/4 of the way up platform 9 to get on the train, does that count 😂Hopefully people find the video useful if making the same trip and used the video to shamelessly plug my up and coming videos from the Berchtesgaden National Park. The hotel was in a great location for exploring the area. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul

Yes I think that counts. LOL. @@TheHikingHermit

Hi Anna, well from doing a bit of investigation and looking at some video I did on my way from Berchtesgaden to Salzburg it looks like there is no longer a luggage storage facility at Berchtesgaden station. There used to be a sign over the door when going out on to the platforms saying there was luggage storage but I can confirm that sign was no longer there as of August last year. The online map of Berchtesgaden station also doesn't have any lockers indicated. However I am not 100% sure that it doesn't have luggage storage. It would be quite poor if they didn't. Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer.

@@TheHikingHermit I appreciate your answer and your time so very much!!!!! Thank you!!!

Hi, it only takes a couple of minutes to change trains at Freilassing. The video from 8:27 to around 10:30 shows what's involved in the procedure. You need to go down the stairs from platform 2, take the underpass and head to platform 1. The train for Berchtesgaden may already be waiting when you arrive at Freilassing station. Check the station signs and the signs on the trains monitors telling you its destination to ensure you're on the correct train. I hope that helps, Paul

@@TheHikingHermit Looks like we will be platform 8 to platform 1, so hopefully that will be just a few more minutes. Thank you so much for the thoughtful, quick reply- I appreciate the help so much!

@@kristinkeeler7980you're most welcome and I'm always happy to help. Here's a link to a map I found online of Freilassing station if that helps sematicweb.detie.cn/stations/DBEYyB/Freilassing_bahnhof_plan.gif-hq It looks like platform 8 will perhaps add another 30 seconds to your platform change to platform 1 as you will take the same underpass

@@TheHikingHermit Thank you so much for looking into that! Having that info makes such a difference and looks like we will be okay as long as the trains are on time 🤞 can't thank you enough for the advice!

Hi Kristin, you're very welcome. I know it can be a bit stressful going somewhere new. I hope you have a great trip, Paul

It sure is a bit of trek to get to the platform and usually standing room only by the time the train leaves Munich from my experience.
