What is the cheapest way to travel from Frankfurt to Dresden in a budget?

Traveling to Frankfurt in June and was looking for some pointers to travel to Dresden in an inexpensive way.

thumb a ride.

Walk.



Eat Funyuns.

On a train or hitchhiking.

bus? is there land mass or water? bus and very if theres water..i would think

Your feet.

Train on a second class ticket

There's the "weekend ticket" by Deutsche Bahn (German railways), if you travel on a Saturday or Sunday. That's quite inexpensive, it goes (at current prices) for 35 euros, and allows up to five people to travel. But you're only allowed to use slow trains; you can check out a schedule at www.bahn.de. I'm sorry I cannot post the schedule here, as they have session IDs that expire after one hour, so a direct link would be worthless.

edit:
"Thumbing a ride", as mentioned by some posters, might not be so bad an idea. Try www.mitfahrzentrale.de .

2nd edit:
@Carolina, Lufthansa will in no way be the cheapest way, but the fastest, I agree. German BA might be an option. But by flying, you miss so much of the German landscape, and using the rail or driving on the Autobahn is an experience a traveller shouldn't miss. But that's just my opinion, as a German.

Lufthansa has direct flights from Frankfurt to Dresden. I'm not sure if it is the cheapest way, but I'm pretty sure it is the fastest way.
