The journey from Dortmund to Stuttgart with the ICE is very relaxed, a nice comfort, the seats were very comfortable and I had wifi as well as sockets at my seat, so I could run up my mobile phone all the time during the journey. The seats were all very clean and hygienic. Value for money was rather expensive as a flight would be much cheaper. The journey was very pleasant, it was a direct connection, I didn't have to change planes or anything like that.
