Euro; Deutsche Bahn - Leipzig, Zwickau, Grosskorbertha and Konigstein, 16May06 to 20May06

Mainline South

21st May 2006

4 days in Deutschland:

Day 1 - Leipzig to Zwickau, Limbach, Reichenbach & Plauen
Day 2 - Leipzig to Grosskorbertha, Leichling, Grossheringen and Leipzig Leutszch
Day 3 - Leipzig to Kotzshchau, Leipzig, Dresden, Konigstein, evening excursion to Halle
Day 4 - Leipzig to Frankfurt, Hanau and home

Apart from the classic traction and constant flow of proper trains, the most striking feautre of German railways is the lack of pathetic HSE culture that we endure in England. Long live DB :)
