Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Arrive at your chosen pick-up point at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time to ensure a smooth boarding process.
  • Consider bringing a small, lightweight bag for any purchases made at the Christmas markets, as space on the bus is limited.
  • Dress in layers, as the weather in the Black Forest can be unpredictable, and the Ravennaschlucht can be cooler than Freiburg.
  • While the bus has a restroom, it's advisable to use facilities during scheduled stops to ensure comfort for all passengers.
  • Carry some Euros in cash for small purchases at the market stalls, as not all vendors may accept card payments.
