What are your plans? I'm not yet sure which graticule I will visit. I have to be back at the train station at 4pm if you plan to do the 49 9 hashpoint. - Danatar 15:47, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

This is easy walking distance for me (3 km), and I will bring a towel (possibly for the Calendar girl achievement). I have all day, tell me when you will have time. - Danatar 15:16, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Today is thepiguy and my hashiversaries, so we're going to try to make it. We're thinking of taking the train to Wittighausen, and then biking to the hashpoint (though it's in a field), biking back, and then taking the train back. Our departure time from the Würzburg Hbf is 17:33 and we're hoping to catch the 19:30 train back, though likely we'll take the ~21:45 train that goes to Lauda and then back to Würzburg.

Danatar, does the 24 hour ticket you told us about for Heidelberg also work in these areas? I saw Lauda on the map of viable cities, but not Wittighausen. Thanks! -Srs0 06:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Wittighausen is along the line to Lauda, so it is valid of course, but maybe not the most reasonable solution.

The stop before Wittighausen, Gaubüttelbrunn, is only 2 km before Wittighausen and still in the VVM area.
Do you have the students ticket Danatar has? I believe that one is valid in all of the VVM, so also to Gaubüttelbrunn, so in that case you could go there for free.
If you have that and want to go to Wittighausen anyway, you might be able to convince the people at the ticket office to sell you a ticket from Gaubüttelbrunn to Wittighausen for about 1,50 per person and direction. This connecting ticket is not available at the ticket machines. They don't need to sell it if they don't want to, but often do. It's a slightly strange legal case with these connecting tickets. In opposite direction tickets to Gaubüttelbrunn are available at the ticket machines at Wittighausen for 2,10 EUR per person.
If you don't have a VVM pass, it gets slightly funny:
- Single ticket to Gaubüttelbrunn is 4,90, to Wittighausen 4,70 (yes, the longer distance is cheaper!).
- Cheapest solution is the "VRN Ticket 24 Plus" 24 hour ticket to Wittighausen for 14,50 € (group, so for both of you). That's basically the same as the one to Heidelberg for 19,50, but for a much smaller region.
