Are you planning a holiday with the 9 euro ticket?
There is a large selection of travel destinations within Germany - we will show you which routes are particularly attractive.
Germany has a lot to offer and thanks to the 9 euro ticket, which will be available from June to August, many regions can be visited inexpensively.
The only downside: Travelers sometimes have to take long train journeys with several changes to get to the destination.
If you want to travel from Munich to Berlin, for example, you have to reckon with a journey of almost nine hours.
With the ICE, the route could be covered in 4.5 hours, i.e. half the time.
Unfortunately, the one with the 9-euro ticket is taboo.
We've selected a selection of train routes to popular destinations that can be reached in under five hours.
Popular holiday island Sylt – easy to reach from Hamburg
On Sylt, there are already fears of a large rush due to the 9-euro ticket - so hotels and holiday apartments could be rare.
At the same time, Mayor Nikolas Häckel told the
Hamburger Morgenpost
: “But we are by no means in a panic.
We prepare for it and then take a look.” He suspects that people from the immediate vicinity in particular could use the ticket for an excursion.
This could actually apply to travelers from
Hamburg
: With the regional transport you can get to Sylt in three hours.
