Delay 15 minutesDirty toiletThe journey from Rostock to Leipzig with Deutsche Bahn was relaxed. On the train itself, I had a seat in 2nd class. The train was about 70% full. I would choose the train again, even if the toilets were a bit dirty and the train attendant was very friendly. A good alternative to travelling by car.
