Train travel in Bavaria

I am flying into Munich and hoping to travel around Bavaria for about 4 days, by train. Could anyone please advise me of the cheapest way to do this? I do not want to use an Inter Rail ticket. My plan is to stay at a different location each night, but perhaps travel a little during the day. I have looked at the Bavarian ticket, but was hoping to have something similar for more days.

It is often hard to beat the Bayern-Ticket Single at 19 Euros per day (21 euros at the ticket counter). Sometimes you may find a normal single ticket cheaper on regional trains; e.g., W��rzburg to Rothenburg is about 11 euros, and Munich to Landshut is about 13 euros. See:

Change %26quot;Means of transport%26quot; to %26quot;only local transport%26quot;.

In some cases this Die Bahn site give you the route but not the price if the train belongs to a local network. You can always ask at the ticket counter. For example Rothenburg ob der Tauber is on the N��rnberg network and a ticket between the two cities is only 8.60 euros.

You might price out a tentative plan and ask specific questions. Sometimes the Bayern-Ticket will not be the cheapest as I have indicated. Ticket counter personnel were generally helpful to us when we asked.

Each of the federal states have their won L?nder Tickets which you can easily buy from a machine on the day(s) you need to travel. They are however, restricted to the regional trains but the price is hard to beat.

For nationwide travel you could buy a German Rail Pass. A 4-day 2nd class Youth Pass costs 139 � [34,75 �/day].
