Help with trip to Kulmbach/Plassenburg

[hawk]

Hi Mark,
Having just got back from a week driving around Bavaria, and I must say what a great place to visit.  Just follow signs to Kulmbach and then onto the Plassenburg.  Park were you see a car park and walk around.

If you feel energetic then you can walk up to the castle/museum but other wise there is a bus which runs every half hour to the top.

Plenty of places to eat around the square where the show is held or further up by the fountain.

Enjoy your trip.

Hi there,

I will be visiting Kulmbach/Plassenburg in October and was hoping that since many of you have been there numerous times that you might tell me the easiest way to get there - the catch being that I will not be traveling by car.  It will be by train or if circumstances dictate: bus.

I will be arriving from the south so I guess the real question is which is the best way from Nuremburg?

Thanks in advance for any travel tips!

Best regards,

Mark
