Bavaria is awaiting us! During the semester break, we are organising an excursion to the Bavarian capital. In and around Munich, we will once again gain insights into companies in the transport sector that are opening their doors to us in the familiar fashion.
Due to many individual travel plans during the semester break, our excursion will not start in Dresden. The meeting point is at Munich Central Station on Monday at around 2 p.m. First, we will visit the DUSS Terminal Munich. This is where containers and other goods are handled in combined transport. Due to its location on the north-south axis, the terminal plays an important role in transport across the Alps.
On Tuesday, we will take a look at one of the most modern train factories in Europe. At the Siemens Mobility headquarters in Munich-Allach, locomotives and passenger coaches go through production, assembly and testing.
On Wednesday, we will take a trip to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. An optional program item is planned for the morning at 2,962 meters: we take the cable car, which holds several records, up to the Zugspitze. After enjoying the panorama to the full, we take the Glacier Cable Car to the Zugspitzplatt, from where we take the rack railway back down into the valley. We will also be given a guided tour of one of the cable car stations. As this program item is very popular with tourists, we can unfortunately only offer this package for an additional charge of 50 euros. Please indicate when registering whether you would like to take part in the trip up the Zugspitze.
Finally, on Thursday, we will visit the Munich Central Station control tower. A track plan interlocking operates in the iconic building at Hackerbrücke. From three control desks, the traffic controllers oversee the activities on the station grounds. Afterwards, participants can make their own way home.
Travel period: 9 to 12 March 2026
Participation fee: 100€. This includes three nights’ accommodation in a hotel in Munich, including breakfast. You must organise your own travel to and from Munich.

There is a surcharge of 50€ for the trip up the Zugspitze.
