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.

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-Württemberg 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/stadtbus/…stadtnetz2007gr.gif

…ueberlingen.de/stadtplan/gesamtansicht.htm

The bus is also covered by the ticket to Überlingen.

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 Überlingen. 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.
