About a month ago, I took a trip from Munich to Freiburg with Deutsche Bahn. The train arrived in Freiburg very punctually. There were few changes of trains, which made my journey much easier. The price of the ticket was excellent. It was very cheap in my opinion. The seats were not very comfortable and not well maintained. The volume on the train was unfortunately not adequate. It was very loud! The staff were not very friendly either. Overall, a satisfactory journey.
