From Karlsruhe or Stuttgart, it’s a little tricky to reach Maulbronn with public transport. With my base moved to Karlsruhe, it’s first an RE or S4 train to Bretten, before hopping onto VPE bus 700 to stop “Alte Post” in Maulbronn. Finally, there’s about 600 metres remaining on foot to the ticket office on the monastery grounds.
