THE (semi) DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO GETTING TO WACKEN

[Quark]

Thank you!
Just to have an idea

Before I forget, the train does not go to Wacken but to Itzehoe (IZ), where there'll be shuttles (and taxis)

hello, does anyone know how much a R60(or whatever) train ticket costs from Hamburg-Altona to Itzehoe? is it a negligible price like 6-7 euros?

I think it was something like 11 euros, if I remember correctly.

I'm glad I can go by train.
Advantage, I can drink ALL the way! (and so is my mate)
Where the driver has to remain sober. (AND I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TO DO THE SAME IN GERMANY!!!)

Don't worry I never drink and drive

If I buy a drinking horn on this year's trip, what would be the best method on getting it back home undamaged? I'm unsure if it'd be legal to carry on the plane, especially to New York from London.

WOA2008 was my first year and I bought 3 horns (1 for me, 2 for friends) and put them in my luggage with everything else - they survived just fine. Did the same last year.

I just put them among my clothes and they were fine. They are quite sturdy
