THE (semi) DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO GETTING TO WACKEN

[Quark]

I bet from now until this time next year, noone is going to read this thread

I do!

Just a quick question & sorry if it's been asked before, just would take me far too long to read through the whole thread.

For option 1 as below...

From Hamburg Airport to Hamburg City
SIMPLE BUT EXPENSIVE ROUTE:
Take the Airport Express bus from outside the Terminals (it stops at all of them) to the Hamburg Main Station (Haubtbahnhof). Costs roughly 5-6 Euros and takes half an hour.

What number is displayed on this bus? I didn't know much last year & followed some others, who didn't get everything right. I'd like to make sure I can know what bus it is I get on exactly, so I get it more right this year. Thanks for any help.

Isn't it mentioned on www.hvv.de ?

Well basically, there are two "airport express" busses. For the route you mentioned, you take the one WITH NO NUMBER on it. It will say "HAUPTBAHNHOF" at the front.

 

[Lucretia]

yes, it does say airport express and Hauptbahnhof or something like that. No HVV number, as it is NOT an HVV bus!

I need some German phrases

Hi everyone,

My little cousin is travelling to Waken for the first time this summer and I'd like to send him some essential German phrases that will get him through the weekend. The funnier the better please, and please provide me with an English translation.

Thanks in advance,

Krust

Yes, I can confirm that rumour, or at least that's how it was back in 2003....

BEST WAY TO GET TO WACKEN!

Get yourself in contact with a Wacken vetran like I did (cheers Quark!)!!!

Does anyone have a rough idea of how much in total it'll cost me to get from Lubeck Airport to Wacken. There are a few prices scattered about, but how much are the trains etc.?

Thanks c:.

EDIT: Okay, so I can probably work out most myself, but how much is it from Altona to Itzehoe?
