Arriving by plane

Rieneck lies roughly 80km east of Frankfurt/Main airport (FRA). From the airport train station, reaching the Guide and Scout Castle is straightforward. The form below uses the Deutsche Bahn journey planner. The stations, Frankfurt Airport (Start point) and Rieneck (Destination), have already been filled in. You just need to add the date and your desired time of departure / arrival.

Both stations are connected to Terminal 1

There is a local railway station, the Regionalbahnhof, for S-Bahn and regional trains (the Regional-Express) at Terminal 1, Level -1.

Important: Don't get mixed up with Fernbahnhof. All trains to GEMÜNDEN (MAIN)/WÜRZBURG leave from the Regionalbahnhof.

Catch the S-Bahn (S 8) to HANAU and go as far as FRANKFURT (HBF) HAUPTBAHNHOF (first stop in the tunnel). Walk up to the main hall and take the regional train Regional-Express (RE) to WÜRZBURG.

Important: Make sure you don't board an InterCity (IC) train!

Get off at GEMÜNDEN. If you are lucky you have made arrangements for a pick-up from there. Otherwise, there is a connecting train Regionalbahn to SCHLÜCHTERN. Rieneck is the very first stop on the way.
