Cons
IconVery full in between
I travelled by ICE 77 second class from Hamburg to Freiburg. It was a very nice journey because I saw a lot of Germany. Fortunately for me, the train was very clean, almost sterile. During the almost six-hour journey, I made use of the offer of the on-board bistro and treated myself to a soup. It was very tasty. In between, the train was a bit crowded, but I had my seat, so this was basically not a problem. The conductor asked to see my ticket several times, but that was OK.
