Germany Train Challenge

What is it?

Aim to travel to every of the 16 Bundesländer (States) of Germany by train in the fastest possible time. In order to really be there, you need to change trains.

How did it get started?

I had the idea of doing it in under 24 hours. I tinkerd around a lot on bahn.de and finally came up with a plan.

What are the rules?

  • Rule 1. You have 24 hours to visit every Bundesland by train
  • Rule 2. You have to leave each Bundesland with a different train
  • Rule 3. You may chose any stations to visit
  • Rule 4. At each station, you must take at least a picture of a station sign from outside of the train
  • Rule 5. You may only use normal passanger trains - you are not allowed to get to other stations by any other means. "Sonderzug" may not be used
  • Rule 6. The time starts as soon as the train leaves your starting station and ends as soon as you exit the train in your final station
  • Rule 7. You must always have valid train tickets for your rides
