Germany

There are two types of metros in Germany - S-Bahn and U-Bahn. Eurorail passes are valid for travel on S-Bahn but not U-Bahns. There are no physical machine ticket-checkers at the stations, so you can risk taking U-Bahns without a pass.

HBF stands for Hauf-bahn-hof or main station

TIEF means  'down'. This means that you will have to go down one more level into the metro station from the train station.

Dachau Concentration Camp
This was the first concentration camp that the Nazis built. It is half an hour from the Munich HBF. Entrance is free. The audioguide is available at a subsidized rate to students and is worth renting.

Neuschwanstein Castle
This is a castle built by Kaiser Wilhelm for Wagner in a deliberately fairy-tale looking manner. It was the inspiration for the castle shown in the Disney movie Sleeping Beauty. It is an unreserved 2-hour ride from Munich HBF.
