Deutsche Bahn – Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket and ICE

11/27/2016 10:13:38 PM

No, you cannot take an ICE and yes, there is an option to search only regional trains on Bahn.de (checkbox “Nur Nahverkehr” – in the new version, it only appears after clicking in one of the boxes of the search form – or “Local transport”).

A few other tips:

  • During the week-end, the Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket offers essentially the same (actually a bit more as it includes more trips to neighbouring countries and is also valid for local commuter trains – S-Bahn – and before 9 AM, which is not the case for the Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket) and is cheaper.
  • If you are on your own and planning a one-way trip, do check the Sparpreis Finder too, you can sometimes find cheap ICE fares that are similar or not much higher than the Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket, for a much higher comfort. For a small group or a day trip (return on the same day), nothing comes close to the Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket, Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket or Länder-Ticket, pricewise, but for one person it’s not always the case.
  • Finally, travelling long distances by chaining regional trains can take a long time. If you mostly care about saving money and would consider something else than the train, long-distance buses and ride sharing (Mitfahrgelegenheit) can also be cheap and would not necessarily be slower (but slightly less comfortable in my opinion).
