Regular train tickets in Germany are expensive. For instance, a regular one-way ticket from Frankfurt to Oberhof costs about 67€, from Nuremberg 57€. However, you can get cheaper tickets:
- You can get a special early-booking rate (29€), when you book early online. Early-booking rates become available three months in advance.
- There are discounts for groups. As a member of a group of six persons, you can get a group-early-booking rate for steep discounts.
- If you are prepared to travel only by local trains (taking about 4:30 hours from Frankfurt and 3:30 hours from Nuremberg), there is a special weekend fare of 56€ for five persons. No early booking required for this kind of ticket.
