Advantages
Relatively short driveDisadvantages
Full laneAs part of the Deutschlandticket, a train journey instead of a car is highly recommended. Although there was only free wifi at some stations, there was always a power socket available. The train was quite full, but I still managed to get a seat. If not, it would have been possible to reserve a seat. In fact, there were no long delays, which has become a rarity. But within the framework of the €49 ticket, one could not complain in any case. Toilets were also available on every train.
