Getting walking directions - mapCountry forums / Western Europe / Germany | ||
I have booked a room in hotels in various parts of Bavaria. Although many of the hotel websites include directions on how to reach them, I would like to be able to print maps showing directions from the railway station to the hotel. Unfortunately Google Maps and similar sites don't recognize "Hauptbahnhof" for any town other than Munich. Can anyone recommend a site which would allow me to enter the station as a starting point and the hotel as a destination (for example: Nurnberg Hauptbahnfof to Hotel Drei Linden Nurnberg) and get a map which would include both places as well as street names? I will need to do the same for places in Austria. | ||

Thanks Adeben, I'll try what you suggest. | 2 | |
Hotels Reviewed European Hotel Map Search for your town, find the hotel, look at the map (Google map) - and print. | 3 | |
Hauptbahnhof = main railway station With the DB timetable you can also give addresses as destination. Best route would be from the Hauptbahnhof 10 minutes by tram and than a 3 minutes walk. If you click on "walk" you'll get a map of the walking route. Albeit not the best of all map types. If you give as start point the name of a city/town the timetable will choose the most important train station or bus stop. If there is a drop down list the first entry will be mostly the best bet. Best is to query from your real start point to the destination. Esp. with bigger cities there is no must that the shortest/best route is via Hauptbahnhof. Google and the route planners I know won't find railway stations by their names in most cases. Sometimes this works for the Hauptbahnhof. But with other station names this barely works. | 4 | |
