Hi all - family member has a sudden thing coming up in Oberstdorf, Germany - and I would like to tag along! The family member would be busy, but able to meet up whenever their schedule permits. I have to figure out travel (probably from an East Coast airport), hotel/accommodations and food options. Wanted to stop by the rink that holds the Bavarian Open, (Sportstatten Oberstdorf, Eissportzentrum Oberstdorf?).
I know nothing of the area and thought that some of you fine folks could help me cut through a lot of grief and help me plan things (I have about a week to figure things out). Haven't been on a plane since Winter 2020 and haven't been to Europe in a long time (sigh). Hope this thread can be of use to others attending skating events in the city in the future.
-Great airlines to fly on (from East Coast US)
-Nice/affordable hotels in Oberstdorf (perhaps near the sports complex?) or short-term rental options (I have just over a week to book something)
-Best way to exchange USD to Euros (do a little bit in the US and then exchange more there?)
-Great restaurants
-Any skating destinations of note
Thanks, all!
