I recently travelled from Greifswald to Stralsund by train and must say that overall I was quite satisfied with my journey. The train connection was on time and the journey went very smoothly overall. I had enough space and was able to relax during the journey. However, I have to say that the price for the journey was not particularly cheap. I paid considerably more than I had expected, especially considering that it was a comparatively short distance. I think that the prices of the train are a bit too high overall, especially considering that there are often cheaper alternatives. Nevertheless, I would recommend the train connection from Greifswald to Stralsund, especially if you have the time to enjoy the picturesque landscape along the route. The train is a comfortable and reliable way to travel and I would use it again if I had to travel from Greifswald to Stralsund in the future.
