How to travel from Munich airport to Deggendorf railway station by bus and train (approx. 2 hours):

  1. Exit the airport and wait for the arrival of the Freising bus, it arrives approximately every 20 minutes. Purchase a ticket from the driver.
  2. Once you have boarded the bus, remain on it until Freising train station. The train station in Freising is located very close to the bus stop, approximately 30 metres. At the train station (or at a Deutsche Bahn-DB ticket machine at the airport) purchase a Bayern Ticket, which is cheap and convenient.
  3. In the train station look at the display panels for current train information such as departure times and platforms. Take the train to Passau, this train usually departs from platform 4. If you are not sure just ask, also in English. At this point you should be in the wagon to Passau. Get off in Plattling (approx. 1 hour from Freising) and change trains to the green "Waldbahn". This train takes you directly to Deggendorf (only 2 stops, roughly 10 minutes).

Especially if your flight arrives very early or very late it is recommended to check the connection / travel schedule at www.bahn.de.
Other passengers and the staff of Deutsche Bahn are usually very friendly and helpful. They usually speak both English and German.
