I travelled from Hamburg to Freiburg with the ICE 77 and was extremely enthusiastic. It started with the purchase of the ticket, which was relatively inexpensive for this route. Very good comfort with ergonomic seats. There were plenty of beautiful views on the journey, as the train travels through almost the whole of Germany.

I travelled with the ICE 77 from Hamburg to Freiburg, in second class. For the very long distance, the journey time was quite short, in my opinion. The train had no delays. The price was also reasonable, it was not high for travelling through most of Germany. It was a very clean and well-maintained ICE. The service on board was good, there was free wifi and also power sockets. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The train had an on-board bistro, I can recommend this connection.
