Border controls in the Schengen area

Due to the current refugee situation, border controls in the Schengen area have, again, been intensified. This may lead to partly considerable waiting times at the borders. We advise you to provide for some extra time for car rides (e.g. to Munich airport) or train rides and to obtain respective information prior to departure (e.g. if any trains have been cancelled). Furthermore, we advise you to always have a valid passport or ID card on you when travelling!
