A train journey from Munich to Cologne can be relaxed and comfortable.

But not when a "Trupp Land-Bayern" gets on in Nuremberg to come to the carnival in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Munich - Munich Central Station is the first thing many people see of the Bavarian capital every day.

A few months ago it was an aging, rustic main station, today a large construction site from which the splendor of Munich's future station cannot yet be seen.

Despite massive construction work, Munich is a central transfer and exit station for many people, which sometimes leads to bizarre experiences that, like the following example, are shared on social networks.

Munich: Train ride from Munich to Cologne starts well - and then becomes a challenge

"On the journey home from Munich to Cologne," Twitter user "Droid Boy" begins his post.

"Munich was good to me," it continues, before Droid Boy begins to share his "pain."

"Now a troop of Land-Bayern has boarded in Nuremberg, who are going to Cologne to get drunk on November 11th.

I hereby praise the inventor of Active Noice Cancelling.” As is well known, the carnival in Cologne begins on November 11th, so you can imagine how the people who boarded from Franconia were in a party mood.

How the journey continued for Twitter user "Droid Boy" - unclear.

However, one can assume that he used his headphones for the entire journey, after all "Active Noice Cancelling" ensures that you are more or less acoustically isolated from your surroundings.

What exactly the Franconian passengers did on the trip to Cologne cannot be found in the post - free interpretation is therefore permitted.

A Munich visitor from Berlin, meanwhile, had ideas for her arrival at the main train station in Munich that tended not to come true.
