WC'sDelaysStress when changing trainsAfter the visit to Budapest, we made our way back to Munich. On the way, we passed the station from Salzburg to Freilassing. This time, for once, I was very satisfied with the comfort on the train. The weather was even very good this time. Unfortunately, the delays of the trains and the resulting stress when changing trains bothered me. Otherwise, I was satisfied with the price performance.

Smoke sceneryDelayToilets/HygieneOne of the many stops on my return journey from Hungary to Munich was the train ride from Salzburg to Freilassing. The train ride was very pleasant and the staff were also very friendly. Unfortunately, the toilets were again not really clean and the constant shaking during the journey was unbearable. Worst of all, but unfortunately true, was the delay of the train. Nevertheless, I can say that travelling by train is good value for money.
