Trains and other things: Rosenheim, Grafing, Aßling, Ostermünchen, Großkarolinenfeld, Raubling, Oberaudorf, Schaftenau

I'm heading again to Germany, this time in the south of Bavaria and Austria

Taking the train to Arlanda from Helenelund station in Stockholm area, here is X60

SJ Regional train

Arlanda Express

Arlanda Central station

ER1 Mälartåg

The station is located right in the central part of the airport

To get out of the station, one has to pass through the gates and pay the airport station fee of 130SEK on top of the ticket price

Arlanda airport this time of the year is quite empty, also there are still some Covid restrictions - but soon everything will change

Finnair A350 plane is now flying from Stockholm to USA

I'm taking a Lufthansa flight to Munich

2 hours later - I'm in Munich airport

Another train - this time S-Bahn to Munich

Not many people flying here too

At Munchen Ostbahnhof I'm changing trains, the freight trains are passing by one after another

I'm heading to Rosenheim, not far from Munich

The following morning, having my breakfast in the hotel. B&B hotels are offering excellent service for a low cost, after this time I've decided to use this hotel chain more often in order to save some money

Rosenheim is not a large town, but it has direct train connections to Vienna, Budapest, Bologna, Venice, Hamburg, and Amsterdam among other places - not bad

Nightjet to Innsbruck

Eurocity to Venezia Santa Lucia station

Here is a train I did not expect to see, even though I was aware about this service
