Workshop on "Extremal and Probabilistic Combinatorics" 23. - 27. August 2010 at Frauenchiemsee

 

(full resolution)

Frauenchiemsee is a small island in lake Chiemsee, located South East of Munich at a distance of about 100km, at the feet of the Bavarian Alps. The workshop will take place at the Benedictine convent Frauenwoerth .

Transportation

Taxi from Munich Airport (MUC) to Gstadt:

• Sunday, 4:00 pm (departure)
• Sunday, 7:00 pm (departure)

We will provide the taxi service. You can of course take a taxi on your own. Expect the trip to cost 180 Eur.

Or by Deutsche Bahn

• If travelling from the airport, take the S-Bahn to München Hauptbahnhof (the S1 and S8 lines both go to Hauptbahnhof, and have similar journey times). From Hauptbahnhof, follow the instructions below.
• If travelling from München Hauptbahnhof, take the Salzburg train as far as Prien.
• From Prien, catch the ferry to Frauenchiemsee via Herreninsel. The ferry port in Prien is about 1.5 km from the station. On foot, just walk east along Seestraße, or there is a taxi rank at the station.
• The convent is by far the largest collection of buildings on the very small island, and you can see it from the ferry port.

General information on the Chiemsee ferries 

Please keep in mind: If you want to have dinner on the island on Sunday evening you have to take the ferry at 5:50 pm.The last ferry to Frauenchiemsee on Sunday evening leaves Gstadt at 09:00 pm. (timetable )

If you missed the last ferry on Sunday evening: Call +49 170 2053542 to get a Wassertaxi from Gstadt to Frauenchiemsee. The service costs 42 Euro for up to 8 persons as long as you go before 11:30 pm.

Buying train/ferry tickets:

The following are the cheapest and most convenient ticket options for the journeys we anticipate most participants will be making:

• If travelling from München Hauptbahnhof: Buy a single journey ticket to Prien (15 Eur) if travelling alone, or a Bavarian group ticket (28 Eur) otherwise. The group ticket covers up to 5 people.
• If travelling from the airport, buy a Bavarian single person ticket (20 Eur) if travelling alone, or a Bavarian group ticket (28 Eur) otherwise. The group ticket covers up to 5 people.
• Ferry tickets should be bought at the ferry port, for the single journey to Frauenchiemsee.

By Car

Go to Gstadt, there is sufficient parking space at the ferry terminal. The parking fee is approx. 3 Eur per day. You cannot take your car to the island. See also travel to Frauenwörth 

Leaving Frauenchiemsee

Ferry to Gstadt, taxi to Munich Airport (MUC)

• Friday, 1:30 pm (departure)
