Herrenchiemsee
Can anybody tell me about Herrenchiemsee, and if is reasonable
to do as a day-trip from Munich? We would like to use the
Bayern-ticket (there are 5 of us) if possible.
Is there enough to see to make it worth the trip?
Thanks!!

Yes ,why not ? Sounds like a pleasant excursion to visit one of King
Ludwig's castles.
It's little more than one hour by train to Prien.
Then connecting narrow gauge (AFAIK Bayernticket isn't valid) and boat
http://www.chiemsee-schifffahrt.de/main.php
over to Herreninsel.
http://www.herren-chiemsee.de/index.html
If that's boring you can always continue by train one hour and have some
time at Salzburg.
Bayernticket is valid Mo-Fr from 9:00, in the weekend Sa and Su it's
replaced with the Scönes Wochenendeticket (Happy weekend)

Absolutely. It's the biggest one of the mad king's castles, surrounded
by a huge park with sculptures and founatins. Make a round trip to the
other island Frauenchiemsee with the old monastery, include some pit
stops in beer gardens, and the day is full.

Yes (see
http://www.schloesser.bayern.de/engl...s/herrench.htm).
Take the the little 1887 train
(http://www.fes-muenchen.de/rund/herbst.01/chiemsee.jpg) from the
station to the harbour in Prien. It's maybe slower than walking but
it's fun.
Take a round trip ticket that covers the train and the boat to
Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee (Bavaria's smallest municipality) as
well (EUR 8,70 each). Visit the monestary
(http://www.schloesser.bayern.de/engl...e/fr_chiem.htm)
if you like, have a rest under the trees of the beergarden of the Linde
inn or simply have a walk around the island.
I have to do this trip at least twice a year and I always enjoy it.

Well, since we're going in the middle of October, it might be too cool
for the beer gardens- unless we have good luck and warm weather!
Thanks for the info!

That's not correct anymore. Bayernticket is now valid on Sat/Sun,
without the 9:00 restriction (i.e. starting at midnight).

You can. However, it's not valid on local buses at Salzburg.

Fraueninsel is also worth a visit. General Jodl, hanged at Nurenburg,
is buried in the church yard.

It's a half scale Palais de Versailles.

Re: Herrenchiemsee
I spent half a day at the Frauinsel and the Herrenchiemsee and I didn't
regret it. If you take a full day to visit the island and the castle,
you will probably enjoy it.
