I took the Deutsche Bahn ICE from Cologne to Munich, taking the Würzburg - Nuremberg route as well. The distance is not very long, so it was completed very quickly by ICE.

IconA bit crowded and too loud
IconNo legroom
The train from Würzburg to Nuremberg was a bit too full and too loud, so it wasn't possible to relax. I also found the seats here uncomfortable, as there was no legroom. Otherwise, the staff on the train were very friendly and carried out a smooth ticket inspection. There were also plenty of power sockets, a stable internet connection and a stocked snack machine. I also found the cleanliness to be good and the toilets were hygienic. The train here was not delayed and I didn't have to change trains, so the journey time was very short. All in all, a good journey!
Advantages

A very interesting and pleasant journey. The train is very quiet and the passengers were also quiet, which made it very relaxing. As I was sitting by the window, I had a great view, which I wouldn't have had if I had travelled by car. I highly recommend it!
