Advantages

IconThe train stops relatively often
Because I travel to Halle for work, I have to take the train from Magdeburg to Halle and back every day. What I like very much is that you get to see many villages and also many landscapes. Unfortunately, the train stops often because it goes to many villages. The people who get on now and then have always been very pleasant so far. I always enjoy travelling this route.
