So, that's about $60 per person to rent a 9 person van. Does that include the return mileage? Mileage to Laboe from the ferry? And ferry charge? This is useful if we end up needing to take a van.

The trains from Copenhagen to Kiel goes the northern route through Denmark via Flensburg. The trains from Copenhagen which uses the ferry (the train moves into the ferry) goes to Lübeck and further to Hamburg.

Just a note to the bus:
As far as I remember it, and maybe one of our other resident Germans can comment on it: Is the price above with driver? Because, if you want to drive a vehicle in Germany, that has a capacity of more then 7 Passengers (incl driver) you need a Personenbefoerderungsschein (what a word lol), basically a license to transport people from one place to another. |

I didn't write the mileage in Germany for one reasons: we don't know yet, where the final route is, if it's just Puttgarten-Laboe, or is it also into Kiel city or maybe a sidetrip to Lübeck. But to give you all an idea, Puttgarden-Laboe. Here's a route map and below a description of route and info of time needed to drive that route and length. The route in Denmark is highway from Copenhagen down to the ferry, however the highway from the bridge between Sjælland (Sealand) and Falster and to Rødbyhavn is a two lane highway road, and not very convenient to drive in bad weather - yes, I have tried. But otherwise, it's okay. You can drive with either 110 km/h or 130 km/h on that route, that is that's the allowed speed. Now the route in Germany, will for the most part be on smaller roads, some with 80 km/h speed limit, I suppose. Which also is the reason for the estimated time schedule on the screencap, I guess. The info is: 90,09 km and that is only one way. 1 hour 12 minutes is the estimated time. So the route length totally would be (2*163km)+(2*90,09km) = 506,18 km. The first 100 km is included in my first proposal, so one would need to pay (4,50 DKK * 406,18 km) = 1,828 DKK for the extra km's plus the original 2,122 DKK for the rent, which is 3,950 DKK in total for a 9 person van, which is 439 DKK per person or 74.21 $ or 58.92 € So that prize proposal is for 9 persons. And that will of course change, if it's more or fewer people. The sooner the better, if people know whether they will do the trip Copenhagen-Laboe both ways, or not. Or maybe, some will go and meet up in Laboe on their own, like German members. They may do a rent trip on their own the reverse way and keep the rented car in Denmark during the 4 day meet. That's also an option. EDIT: I forgot, the trip prize will most likely be without the cost of benzin/diesel for the van, so one will need to pay for that too... Route map and route guide:

For the trip I still believe the rented bus would be the best because it would bring us directly from the hotel to U-995 and back, and that is the most comfortable option. Alternatively, if we rent a car or several cars (I'd say one for each 4 persons should be OK) I can drive/share driving.

Ok. I think I will change the wording of the meet to say Sept 16-20. We can work out the details on train/van later, but we will set a date and time to meet in Laboe. Date will be Weds Sept 16, time ~1pm. That way everyone know when to meet at Laboe.

To my surprise, all the area around Kiel and Laboe is covered with Bird'S View photography by Live Search. The pics
can be moved, zoomed, and turned 90°-wise. If you chose to get there by car and you have no drivers knowing the area, you may want to use this wonderful function to check your approach route into Laboe for faster orientation. - Useful for orientation in Copenhagen as well, I assume.

I wouldn't worry too much about that, I believe most danes speak english and many do also speak german (Danish is also a germanic language, and learning one when you know another is much easier). I can speak german also, and I'm sure I won't be the only one, so we would make groups with at least someone who can speak the local language

U-995 Sneak Peek
Hi All!
To get an better impression what is expecting you onboard of U-995 you can take a look at those 360° panorama pictures. You need to have Adobe Flasplayer installed. Control Room (forward section) http://www.deutscher-marinebund.de/0...ntrale_max.swf Aft Torpedo/Electric engine compartment http://www.deutscher-marinebund.de/0...schine_max.swf and the great view across the Kiel fjord from the top of the Navy Cenotaph http://www.deutscher-marinebund.de/0...renmal_max.swf For the language I wouldn´t worry too much also, as long as you have 2 hands and 2 feet there will be certainly a way to get your ideas across Hope you enjoy those pics... Cheers, Michael |
