Is it possible to travel by train from Friedrichshafen airport to Uberlingen? We are staying at Hotel Seegarten in May. There are 10 of us and we have been unable to hire a minibus (at a reasonable rate!!)

Yes, there is an airport train station stop so it should be simple.

For schedules and prices you can go to www.bahn.de , and where the German flag is, select English to continue.
Some useful websites for this area of Germany:
Bodensee www.bodensee-tourismus.com
Upper Swabia www.oberschwaben-tourismus.de and www.barockstrasse.org

From: Friedrichshafen Flughafen
To: ��berlingen or Ueberlingen (if you don��t have an %26quot;��%26quot; on the keyboard)

I should also mention the Baden-Wuerttemberg ticket for 2-5 people, cost 27 euros, enables up to 5 people to travel inexpensively throughout Baden-Wuerttemberg on regional trains, but only after 9AM on weekdays. Most local transportation is also included.

DB timetable
http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en
From: FDH
To: Ueberlingen
To: Ueberlingen Landungsplatz
Single ticket is EUR 4,80.
5 x 4,80 is slightly less than 1 Baden-W��rttemberg Ticket for EUR 27,00. For further trips the BW ticket is however a good deal.
Landungsplatz is a bus stop close to your hotel

��ueberlingen.de/stadtplan/gesamtansicht.htm
The bus is also covered by the ticket to ��berlingen.
This trip is inside the local public transport network bodo
bodo.de/de/��bodo_linienplan_1409.pdf
bodo tickets cover regional trains and buses. To my knowledge there are only regional trains serving the bodo area anyway (which means that all trains are covered).
with bodo
children 0-5 are free
children 6-11 pay a reduced fare
With 10 persons you would also qualify for the group ticket fare. However
children 0-5 are free and do not count
children 6-11 count only as 0,5 persons
Single ticket on group fare rate would be just EUR 2,40 from the airport to ��berlingen. However two problems in your case
a) you have to announce such trips on group tickets at least 24 hours in advance
b) you can buy group tickets only at DB counters, bodo customer and service centers or from the bus drivers. However not from ticket machines. Which means you cannot buy them at Friedrichshafen airport station (which is more like a tram stop).
You could however use this tariff for the return trip to the airport.
