Free Summer Holiday Travel Offer for Bavarian Students with Academic Achievements
Students in Bavaria who have achieved at least one 'A' grade in their report cards are eligible for a free summer holiday travel offer, available during the school break starting in early August.
This initiative, announced by Finance Minister Albert Füracker (CSU), allows students to travel for free on selected trains within Bavaria and to popular lakes such as Lake Chiemsee, Lake Starnberg, Lake Tegernsee, and Lake Ammersee.
To take advantage of the offer, students must present their valid school ID or report card showing at least one 'A' grade at the time of travel. They are required to comply with the train operators' rules and may need to register or pick up a special ticket or pass for the offer.
The program may also include free or discounted admission to lakeside recreational facilities, swimming areas, or partner attractions along the travel routes.
The offer is valid on certain regional train lines within Bavaria, primarily those operated by the Bayerische Regiobahn and other regional rail services. Some long-distance or express trains may not be included.
It's important to note that the offer does not specify any limitations on the number of siblings who can benefit, and it allows for unlimited use of round trips and individual routes during the summer holidays. However, the offer is not completely free, as a fully paying family member must accompany.
For precise, updated terms and the full list of eligible lakes and lines, please refer to Bavarian state transport websites or school authorities. Similar offers have been made in the past, but the details for this specific offer can vary each year.

- The Community policy should include information about the free summer holiday travel offer for Bavarian students, as it falls under the category of education-and-self-development.
- Employment policy may also be affected, as students who take advantage of this travel offer may own jobs within the service or tourism industry around the popular lakes during their summer holidays, requiring finance for traveling expenses beforehand.
