Advantages
SeatPanoramaDisadvantages
Long journeyCleanlinessThe train journey from Vienna to Freiburg im Breisgau with Deutsche Bahn leaves me with mixed feelings. The punctuality of the train is a positive aspect. However, the cleanliness and comfort in second class leave a lot to be desired. The seats are ok, and the general atmosphere in the compartment feels a little neglected. Sometimes limited power sockets can also cause challenges. Despite the beautiful panorama on the route, the overall impression remains clouded. However, considering the price, with the "super saver price" and the travelling experience, the journey was okay. The toilets also left a lot to be desired on this journey
