Hello everyone;
I made this same trip with my wife about two years ago (Sept 2015).
After landing in Munich I took a nice and quiet train ride from the airport to Munich main central train station called Munich Hbf. I think that was about 45 minutes train ride and about 12 euros. From Munich Hbf you can purchase a train ticket to just about anywhere, including the city of Lienz that is very close to Sillian and I think that would be the easiest way for everyone traveling either from Munich or Vienna international airports. I rode only to Zell am See, Austria where I was to meet with Otto. Zell am See is where the movie The Sound of Music was filmed. This is a nice, confortable and beautiful ride where I must have taken over 100 photos of the landscape during the 3.5 hours it took. It was also during this train ride that I became acquainted with Austrian blond beer
good stuff -make sure you have some.
On the way back I rode the train out of Sillian bahnhof to Vienna where I visited for a few days after Otto helped me land a room on the best hotel right across the opera house at a great price. Thank you Otto, and please be ready to do the same again.
Booking the 4.5 hr for about 30 euros travel to Lienz from Munich Hbf should be easy, try this link:
https://www.trainline.eu/search/munchen-hbf/lienz-in-osttirol/2017-07-02-08:00. There is train service from Lienz to Sillian bahnhof and you should plan to make it to Lienz before 18:00 or 6pm as I'm not sure there is train service after 18:10 to Sillian and that should be a 45 minute ride. From the bahnhof to the hotel I think there is less than 1 mile or 1.5km.
Perhaps at some point as we get closer to the date, Ruth can tell us more about other ways to reach the hotel in Sillian from Lienz or if pickup can be arranged.
I have already asked and received confirmation from SAP to distribute developer licenses for ADS server to all attendees. I hope everyone makes an effort to come. It will be well worth it.
I hope this helps,
Reinaldo.
