Garmisch-Partenkirchen to St. Gallen ???
Will be arriving in Munich Saturday Nov 1. Would like to stay in
Garmisch-Partenkirchen Saturday night. How long is the drive? Recommendations on places to stay with kids? Also, want to visit ancesteral haunts in St. Gallen Switzerland on Sunday. What is the best route to take from Garmisch-Partenkirchen? Will the library be open on Sunday? Where should we stay in that vicinity? How long should we plan for a direct drive back to Nuremburg on Monday? Thanks in advance for the help! Deb |

It takes me usually about 45 minutes. From the airport, it might more be like 1:15 hrs. Also, want to visit ancesteral haunts in St. Gallen Switzerland on Sunday. What is the best route to take from Garmisch-Partenkirchen? Ammersattel - Lermoos - Fernpass - Imst - Arlberg - Rheintal-Autobahn - Exit Hohenems-Diepoldsau (follow signs to St. Gallen/Zürich) - A13/A1 to St. Gallen. I would estimate a bit over 200 kms an about three hours if you take your time. Will the library be open on Sunday? Probably not. How long should we plan for a direct drive back to Nuremburg on Monday? A bit over three hours. Jens |

It's open on Sundays from 10 am to 4 pm, but it's closed from 10 Nov to 21 Dec this year for renovation. Open to 5 pm Mon-Sat. Entrance 7 SFr, 5SFr pupils and students. Euro accepted.

Can someone explain to this dumb Englishmah, what sort of Library this is that charges for entrance? It's a beautiful baroque library formerly attached to the abbey of St Gallen (Stiftsbibliothek). http://www.stibi.ch/index.asp It contains important collection of manuscripts and early printed books. To avoid damaging the floor, visitors are required to wear slippers over their shoes. It's like Trinity College (Old)Library in Dublin, which has the Book of Kells (and charges something like 7 euro/£5 for entry). Alec |
