DelaysStress when changing trainsNoise pollutionSince I made a trip to Germany some time ago only by train, the journey from Dresden to Munich was of course also on the agenda. Considering that you still have to expect delays or stress when changing trains at the station, the ticket is still very cheap and I was able to save a lot of money. Food and comfort are of course great, even if you are sometimes bothered by the noise. And my last and most important point is that you can really get to any city centre without much trouble.
