I was told by my acquaintance that you have to have been to Sylt at least once in your life, and since Frankfurt am Main is my branch, I travelled from there towards Sylt. I am always positively surprised by the good train connections anyway. The staff is very nice, but unfortunately the comfort and the wifi on board are not right. Hygiene and cleanliness are also not exactly the best. Nevertheless, I can say that the train journey was very good value for money.
