Rail service in Germany directly leads to the Baltic Sea coastline
Discover a unique railway adventure as Euro-Express Sonderzüge GmbH & Co. KG, one of Europe's largest special train operators, invites you to embark on the Baltic Express. This special train journey offers a nostalgic experience with GDR-era train cars from the 70s and 80s, taking passengers from Leipzig to the picturesque Baltic seaside resort of Warnemünde.
Passengers can enjoy a leisurely 6-hour exploration of Warnemünde, with its sandy beaches, beach promenade, and maritime restaurants. For those who wish to unwind during the journey, a bistro car is available, offering small snacks and cold drinks while you watch the passing landscape.
The organiser aims to make this journey more than just a 'train ride', branding it as a "Railway experience". To enhance the experience, a historic electric locomotive pulls the train, adding to the authenticity of the journey.
