5 Amazing German Travel by train at bargain price

In Germany, a country with one of the most extensive public transport systems in the world, travel has become much simpler.

This is thanks to Deutschland, or Germany-Institute, a new (almost) all-inclusive travel passage. Valued at just 58 euros, or about $ 63, for a month of travel, allows you to cross the country using Germany’s huge regional train network. You don’t even have to organize tickets for your travels. You can simply appear on the train station and on the boat. (The fastest trains of longer distances, such as Intercity or Intercity Express, are not included in the passage).

Once you have arrived at your destination, the Deutschland ticket allows you to bypass Byzantine local German transportation systems that can even hit the locals. Instead, no matter where you are, you can reach any kind of local public transport, from buses to tram to underground systems, 19th -century locomotives and ferry.

Since its introduction in 2023, Deutschland-Ticket has caused a post-literal regeneration on local trips. A series of travel books and websites on Deutschland have appeared, as card holders use the opportunity to explore the corners of the country using a fixed -friendly climate.

“This ticket is an innovation,” said Allister Loder, Professor of Mobility Policy at Munich Technical University. “Changes the way we use public transport.”

Particularly loved by retirees, families and students, the Deutschland ticket is also ideal for tourists. You can close your monthly passage from abroad, using an application. Just be sure to cancel it before it is renewed.

Here, some of the most picturesque trips you can take with the Deutschland ticket:

Stuttgart in Konstanz

Regine Heue, the author of the driver “On the Road with the Deutschland -Ticket”, loved all the first 40 trips he took to write it. But if he had to choose one, he might be traveling from Stuttgart, the home of the Mercedes-Benz Museum, in the beautiful medieval town of Konstanz, on the coast of Lake Constance. After a stroll along the stunning Clear Blue Lake, you can stop at Konstanz to admire the alpine landscape that forms the scene of the city, eat, drink or go shopping. Or you can continue: via a bus to the city of Meersberg wine. In Friedrichshafen, home by Zeppelin. Or on the island of the Mainau Garden, with the 150 -year -old Arboretum.

Starting from Cologne, with the magnificent Gothic cathedral and the carnival spirit, you can take a train that turns along the Rhine River to Mainz. It is described by Germany’s Stern Magazine magazine as “perhaps the most beautiful and romantic rail route in the country”, your journey takes you through the upper Rhine’s Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage area, past castles, forests, vineyards. Alternatively, if you change trains to Koblenz, where the Rhine meets Moselle, you can head to Trier, the oldest city in Germany. This route follows Moselle, with many opportunities to land for wine tastings in one of the many vineyards in the area. (A good place to stop: the city of Bernkastel-Kues).

Hamburg in Sylt, via mud apartments

There may be no better way to see Hanseatic Port City of Hamburg than by water-and with the Deutschland ticket you can drive the city’s ferry system at no extra cost by landing in places such as the famous Fischmarkt or the purchase of fish. Once you have experienced Hamburg from the water, you can reach the regional train on the northwestern island of SYLT, Germany. This train travels through the spectacular natural landscape of northern Frisia, with its large, UNESCO protected, apartments and muds known as Wadden Sea. For a more beautiful beautiful area, the train travels along an embankment directly to the sea. Upon arrival at Sylt, travelers can use the local bus to cross, rent bicycles (not included in Deutschland) or just walking the beach. Don’t miss the famous Fischbrötchen area or fish sandwiches.

Berlin to Zittau, in the mountains

Klaus Scheddel, author of the driver “with the Deutschland ticket from Berlin”, traveled 32 routes from the German capital to write the environmentally friendly travel guide. But the discovery of the Deutschland-Ticket that was very pleased that the long-standing Berlin was a journey to the charming, largely unexplored historical city of Zittau, a Labout three hours to the south, near the Czech and Polish border. The city is located at the foot of the Zittau mountains, which are remarkable for the impressive sandstone rocks formations, called for the forms that look like nuns, a hive, a hen, a crocodile. From Zittau, you can travel to these mountains to Oybin on a small steam train dating from the 19th century. Part of the public transport system, this train requires additional payment of a “historic surcharge” 10 euros per person per day.

From Munich, with beer gardens and one of the largest museums for science and technology in the world, the Deutsches Museum, you can board a train in the historic city of Füssen. About a two -day route through the foot of the Alps, this route brings you to an area known for the mountains, lakes and castles and features stunning views of the alps of the AMmergau and Allgäu Alps. In Füssen, called “the highest city in Bavaria”, you may want to stop eating local Allgäu specialties, such as Kässpatzen (homemade pasta mixed with peripheral cheese) or the local Sissi Torte, created in honor of the 19th century visit. From Füssen, a short bus route will take you to Neuschwanstein Castle, Walt Disney’s inspiration for Sleeping Beauty Castle.
