If you can get yourself to Düsseldorf, I'll be going to Venlo/Baarlo from there sometime on Friday; it's a short ride across the border.

Deutsche Bahn is probably the easiest way to get there - looks like it takes between 6-8 hours.

I did a little research for you on the Deutsche Bahn website, and it is possible to take a train from Munich to Venlo, where you can take the bus to Baarlo.

The train journey will take you about 7 hrs 30 mins and costs between €104,20 and €129,20.
The busses travel from Venlo to Baarlo every 30 mins and the it takes 15 minutes to get to Baarlo

This is a link for the train journey (in German)

Hope this is useful to you
