Short description
The German Railways, in co-operation with the 'Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz', has developend a project called 'Fartziel Natur'. When booking the tour package the return ticket from any place in Germany is limited to a fare with the BahnCard (2nd class). Transfers from the Hotel to the train station and guiding tours through the park are included. Due to the atrractive fares the project in particular has achieved to convince more tourist to travel by train rather than coming by car in order to visit the park.
