I understand there are lockboxes at Baden-Baden's train station (in
Oos). How large are they? I'm going to be arriving in town fairly
early in the morning (probably around 8am), and I'm not sure I can
check into a hotel to leave my luggage there before I get on a train
at 8:30 to Mummelsee, where I'll be starting a hike back up towards
Baden-Baden, so I'm trying to figure out what to do with my luggage.
(one piece of luggage, and a computer bag)

Thanks.

Usually stations have boxes of different sizes.

The hotel will probably keep the back for you if you ask them. But you
shouldn't have a problem with the boxes. Just remember to bring some
euro coins with you.

The above is general advice, I've never been to Baden-Baden.

The luggage lockers at Baden-Baden are on the platform next to the
station. Coin operated with two sizes, standard German DB unit. The
boxes are deep enough for two bags, you should have no problem with a
suitcase and a computer bag. If you arrive at 8 and have to catch a
train at 8:30 the lockers would probably be better than trying to get
to a hotel as the town center is a lttle way from the station.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm still waiting to hear from a
couple hotels about availability and whether they'll accept luggage
that far before checkin. It's good to know the lockers at the train
station are large enough to accomodate the luggage. My plans and
timing are still shifting around, so it helps to know what's even
possible, to start Smile

Mummelsee is 25 plus miles from Baden-Baden. Quite a hike through
the mountains for one day. If you're planning stop-over on the way
you wouldn't want to check into a hotel in Baden-Baden anyway

Thanks everyone! Good to hear that the lockers are large enough to
accomodate the luggage that I'll have. My plans are still shifting
around a bit, so it's handy to know in advance what's even possible,
to start.

Regards,
Holly

Large enough for normal size suitcases like the ones you would take on an
airplane. So unless you travel with a coffin-sized box you won't have
problems storing it ;-)

The Hotel woul be the cheaper way to store your things, they normally don't
charge anything for it, if you book a room there later on. Maybe you can
check with them beforehand, if they open at 8 a.m. (don't know how far the
hotel is from the train station, but Baden-Baden ist not really that big,
so it shouldn't be a problem).

Frank

There are no trains to Mummelsee - it's rather buses (line 245) ...

Quote:

Baden-Baden isn't big but large and central parts are around 4km from the
railway station. Used to be a connecting 4,3km long railway but that
closed many years ago. So it's best for the o.p to know where the hotel
is situated.

.... and these buses take the route through the city center. At certain
times of the day/week they run every half hour - or "you" can take an
urban bus (line 201, every 10..15 minutes) to the center and catch the
bus to Mummelsee from there.

Things may be more difficult if the hotel is not near to the train
station nor near to city center resp. the main street ...

I've never seen a hotel that wasn't open at 8. It's prime breakfast and
check-out time. You can't check-in at that time, but the hotel is certainly
open.

Hotel have always some form of service or attendance 24h otherwise it's not
a hotel but a hostel.
