Erzberg Rodeo 2014 - travel tips

[silversurf]

I'm looking at going as a spectator for Erzberg 2014 (will be in Munich around that time for work so taking the weekend if I can and driving down Fri-Mon). 

Looking for tips/info on:

 

* Places to stay? most of the town is booked by now of course & I won't be camping, so any decent/close by ski areas or towns with nice hotel/guest house/rooms? (I'll probably have a car rental) - I found one room at the JUFA Eisenerzer - anyone know of this place? it's 10min up the hill from the town, so not bad.

 

* Access to race/site - I likely will only be able to go Fri/Sat/Sun (mostly Sat/Sun) - what are the best options for attending as a spectator in terms of where to be at the race site, seeing various events, etc.?

 

Other tips or info worth knowing?

 

Feel free to reply or PM me.

 

Thanks!

I guess it will be easier to find a hotel about 20-30 miles away from erzberg.

unfortunately most websites don't show prices, nevertheless there are 3 examples

of guest houses, between 30 and 35 EURO (but it's possible they raise their prices during such big events)...

It's amazing how many people hang out in the woods above the ponds during the hare scramble. If you don't mind hiking it's the best place to be. One of the buses can get you pretty close. Just get on the buses with the rest of the masses
