Fehmarnsund Tunnel: Departure delayed by three years
Reading time: 5 min.
|From Hamburg to Copenhagen in under three hours? That would be nice. It's possible, too. But now one of the two Baltic Sea tunnels will be completed much later than planned. It's not the Danes' fault—it's the Germans'.
The train journey from Stockholm to Munich has the potential to be extremely frustrating, to say the least. If you take the train at 5:30 in the morning and make every connection, you'll arrive at Munich Central Station at 11:44 p.m. after eighteen and a half hours, as scheduled. It's just never worked out in my almost three years as a correspondent. Most of the time, you end up stranded in Hamburg, and once in beautiful Fulda, where only a kebab shop was open. It's never been the Danes' fault; they get you from Copenhagen to the German border on time. The Swedes and the Germans, on the other hand, seem to be competing to see who can ruin their train first by cutting costs.
