Schloss Ringberg

The conference will be held at the Ringberg Castle. The accommodation will be booked for all participants.

We kindly ask to pay for your stay directly on site at the end of the workshop. Euro-, Master- and Visacard are accepted, although EC-Card and cash are preferred.

Taxis

There are taxis available from Tegernsee station for transport to Ringberg (around 7 km). Unfortunately, there is no public transport from Tegernsee station to Ringberg castle. Note that taxis from the train station to the castle only accept cash.
If there is too much snow, taxis may not be able to drive up to the parking lot right next to the castle.

Own car

Winter equipment is highly recommended for the driveway. Depending on the snow conditions, you may need snow chains or a four-wheel drive vehicle.
Guests can also use the lower winter car park (enter Schlossstraße, turn right after approx. 50 m) - park the vehicle there and take a taxi up. For a better understanding, we created a YouTube video… https://youtu.be/Jj0xSUXGKhQ"
