Munich, Kiel, Laxå, Degerfors

Last day of the trip outside Sweden, today I'm travelling from Munich to Kiel. Then I'm taking an overnight ferry to Göteborg.
Munich Hbf
The direct ICE train from Munich to Kiel was supposed to be an ICE4 train set, instead it was replaced with a ICE-T. As the original seat reservation would not be valid, there was a free seating on this train. After making some calculations I realised that a 12 car ICE4 train had more seats than a double composition of 7 car ICE-T trains. ICE4-12 has 830 seats in 2nd and 205 in 1st classes. ICE-T-7 has 314 (628) seats in 2nd and 55 (110) in 1st classes. DB has made it impossible to book tickets or seats on this train as a result of this replacement
 Train is fully booked until Hamburg
 The original ICE 882 was cancelled and replaced with another ICE 2902.



It is a long journey from Munich to Kiel, so it is very convenient with a bistro onboard











When connecting to Wifi it is possible to view the location of the train


Greta from Sweden is famous here in Germany as well.
