    8 hours in theory. Let’s not forget it has to cross a large part of Germany. I’m sure Deutsche Bahn will work its magic and suddenly it’s 16 hours with four unplanned stops and five hours of uncertainty as to whether you will ever arrive at all.

      There’s also the very muddled announcement that to make it you’ll need to change trains at some small town.

      Or, they just decide to not stop at your station, so you get to hop off past your station and ride a train back the way you came.

      All that said, it’s still a miracle from God compared to the crap we have in the US.
