Back and forth through the Ammer Mountains

Cross-border bus connection Oberau – Reutte

From May 01, 2026, the bus route from Oberau train station via Ettal and Linderhof, past Plansee and Ehrenberg Castle to Reutte, will be reinstated. This route will run hourly on weekends and public holidays, offering the ideal opportunity to visit the royal castles of Linderhof and Neuschwanstein without a car, enjoy a leisurely stroll around Plansee, or go for a hike. The new route also transports hikers from the border back to the Graswang Valley or to the train station (bicycles cannot be transported).
If you have a guest card, the bus is free for you within MVV zones 5 to 12.

Bus route 319 (since January 1, 2026, formerly route 9624) will operate on Saturdays, Sundays , and public holidays starting in May 2026. It begins at Reutte train station and runs via Breitenwang to Plansee and on through the Graswang Valley to Linderhof Palace and Ettal. In the mornings and evenings, the bus stops at Oberau train station, allowing day visitors from the greater Munich area to reach the heart of the Ammergau Alps in less than two hours. Arrivals and departures in Reutte are also perfectly coordinated with the train schedule. The buses run between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., making even extended mountain hikes possible for locals and visitors without their own cars.

The financing is shared by the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen on the Bavarian side and the Reutte Tourism Association, the municipalities of Breitenwang and Reutte on the Tyrolean side. The new route closes a key gap in the regional bus network. Now, locals and visitors can travel to Plansee for swimming or hike throughout the Ammer Mountains using the new bus lines. 

  • 326 (formerly 9606) Füssen - Garmisch-Partenkirchen 
  • 316 (formerly 9622) Oberammergau – Linderhof, 
  • 319 (formerly 9624) Oberau – Reutte and 
  • Drive home from Steingaden to Füssen on route 326. 

The newly established line represents just the first step in implementing the regional transport revolution for tourism officials and public transport managers in the districts of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Oberallgäu, and Weilheim-Schongau, as well as the Reutte Nature Park region. Since January 1, 2026, the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district has been a member of the MVV (Munich Transport and Tariff Association ). From January 1, 2026, guests with the Ammergau Alps Guest Card can use zones 5 to 12 free of charge. On the train, this means, for example, that the section from Oberammergau to Tutzing or even to Mittenwald is included in the guest card and can therefore be used free of charge. You can find an MVV network map for zones 5 to 12 here.
