Salzburger Christkindl — Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum

The Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum (Bavarian Railway Museum) in Nördlingen sells "Salzburger Christkindl" as a long-distance heritage excursion to the Christmas markets of Salzburg. The operator describes a historic special train that runs from Nördlingen via Donauwörth, Augsburg Hbf, München Ost and Rosenheim to Freilassing, where a shuttle train reserved for this trip continues to Salzburg Mülln.

The operator says a steam locomotive may be used only from München Ost, depending on its rotation. Passengers can book first or second class; whole second-class compartments, for one to six people with two window seats each, can be reserved as a unit. A visit to the Lokwelt Freilassing is offered as an option and is not included in the fare.

Seats are reserved, so the operator asks passengers to book in advance: it is not possible to board these long-distance trains spontaneously.

A day trip on a historic train, with early-morning departures from the Nördlingen area and a late-evening return. The operator lists a fixed return from Freilassing in the late afternoon, with a reserved shuttle train between Freilassing and Salzburg. The Lokwelt Freilassing visit is optional and not included.

Boarding stations named by the operator: Nördlingen, Donauwörth, Augsburg Hbf, München Ost and Rosenheim. The operator asks passengers to book in advance, because seats are reserved; booking is by request form on the operator's tickets page, which passes requests to its subsidiary BayernBahn. The historic coaches are not wheelchair-accessible, although staff help with boarding; the operator asks passengers to mention wheelchairs or strollers when booking because luggage space is limited. A group discount applies from five people and cannot be combined with whole compartments or family tickets. Museum office: +49 9081 24309, info@bayerisches-eisenbahnmuseum.de.
