Good morning, this is the main train station in Münster (Westphalia) behind me. It is 5:10 a.m. and that means: the sun is rising right now. And that also means: the next challenge starts right now. [Music] The challenge is: how many federal states can I travel to in just one day with the Deutschlandticket? I have a plan, but how it will work: I have no idea. We’ll find out together. And you’re welcome to guess in the comments. Firstly, how many federal states will I manage to travel to and secondly, where will I get off? So, this is my first train. It’s the RE2 towards Osnabrück. And Osnabrück is, as we all know, already in Lower Saxony. That means that would be federal state two. That’s where this train will take me. And it’s supposed to leave in about 15 minutes and is already here. That’s better than last time, because there was no train and it was cancelled too. The probability of that happening is lower now because it’s already here. [Jingle] So, now the rules again very briefly: The challenge runs from sunrise to sunset. I’m only allowed to travel with the Deutschlandticket, i.e. only on public transport where it’s valid. And a federal state is considered visited if you’ve crossed the border on a public transport system. So, I don’t have to have gotten off there. The train or bus, however, must have passed through there. I have a plan for how this will work today. But plans are all well and good. If you say I actually have a better solution, put it in the comments. Maybe I’ll try it out then. Actually, it’s a bit of a race against the sun here. That means, as beautiful as it looks right now, it’s actually my opponent. Because once it’s made it all the way from the east to the west, I might not have time to make it to any more federal states. And that’s already federal state two, Lower Saxony, check! [Jingle] So that’s it, what I’m experiencing here this morning is really the exact opposite of what I experienced last time. The train is leaving. It’s on time. The first transfer doesn’t seem to be a problem. Is this the calm before the storm? I don’t know, but… Everything looks wonderful at the moment. [Announcement] Thank you for your journey with DB Regio. Goodbye. Exit on the right, in the direction of travel. Now I really have to say, this is really great. Opposite is the train to Bremen. [Jingle] Ours should be leaving now. So, my idea is: probably 5 minutes late. And that’s because of some long-distance train that’s late. What did I say? As soon as a long-distance train comes in, the local train is delayed. And that’s the same here now. Now 3 minutes later. Let’s see when it actually leaves, probably about 5 minutes. So my experience is: 5 minutes delay when long-distance trains are overtaking is normal. We’re currently in a Bohmte here. And I was just looking at the map and noticed something: the train is about to go through North Rhine-Westphalia again, very briefly. And exactly an hour ago, when the sun would have already risen, a train passed through here too. That’s bothering me now. I don’t know if it would actually have been technically possible to go through one more federal state, but there would definitely have been a buffer. But this is NRW. That means you would then travel from Lower Saxony to NRW and then to Bremen. Nobody would have thought of that. And at the moment it looks as if the train has made up for the 6 minutes delay. That’s pretty good news, I must say, because it seems to be no problem to catch the next train to Hamburg in Bremen. It’s actually logical that I should head straight for Hamburg now. That was the Weser, and that means I’ve now reached the next federal state. Namely Bremen. I say: check mark. That means it’s now federal state number three. At approximately 7:40 am. Three federal states isn’t actually a bad ratio, even though I could have been here an hour ago. [Jingle]
Changing trains in Bremen wasn’t a problem at all. So far, everything looks as if it’s going according to plan. So this morning, I really can’t complain at all. [Announcement] Dear passengers, we’ll soon be arriving in Hamburg-Harburg. That means we’ve arrived in Hamburg, so I’ll just go straight to the main station, but that’s already federal state number four. [Music] So, Hamburg main station. Now I’ve made it. I have 50 minutes here now. It’s a good thing we have this buffer here. But right now we’re right on schedule, and that’s actually pretty great. Much less stressful than what I had in the last video. Now I’ll see what I can do for 50 minutes here in Hamburg, around the main station. [Music] In the 40 minutes I’ve been here, I thought we’d take a little trip. To here: But here to the Binnen-Alster. Oh, it’s beautiful today. Look, what a great day it is today, here in Hamburg. A great day to spend the whole day on trains. Now I’m going to explain to you what’s going on with the next train, which I want to take here at 10:21 a.m., which is to say, in half an hour, towards Schwerin. This train, it’s a double whammy, so to speak. It goes to two federal states at once. It’s now traveling through Schleswig-Holstein. And then it goes to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. So, this train is important because it only runs every two hours. So, unfortunately, it’s not a… regular train, which means that if I were to somehow get a delay, if I had missed one this morning, then things would have been really tricky here. And now, fortunately, it’s not tricky. Unless it’s cancelled. Cut to me if it’s cancelled. Moin, what would you like? Hello, I’d like a Franz roll. A Franz-Brötchen, €1.70. It’s almost become a tradition to get this from here. Is that right? Is it already there? Let’s see: Is that it? Hanse-Express. Rostock. It seems to be full. What’s your name? Deborah. Nice to meet you. And you? Constantin. Constantin. Oh. Yes. How many federal states can I visit in one day? I don’t know how many I’ll actually visit. But this is number four, and then we’ll visit number five and number six on this train, and then we’ll carry on towards Berlin. I’m very excited to see how many I’ll actually visit today. Oh. Very exciting. Yes.
Are you staying in each city for a short time? I’m staying… oh, I’ve only been here for about 50 minutes because of the connection. Wow. So that’s not that long. I’ll just keep going. What are you doing? Where are you going? You said Schwerin? I don’t know, but I’ll find a castle and a shop where I can buy a magnet or something. So, just a little trip. Yes. And then back again. Later. Yes. Then in the afternoon… You said your daughter lives in Hamburg? Yes. My daughter. And my son-in-law. That was the border to Schleswig-Holstein. That means we now have federal state number five: Schleswig-Holstein. Checked off. So, and now the tradition from the first video. So, if you’re in Hamburg, you have to have a Franzbrötchen. And I bought it at the same place again. So, if it always has to be at Yormas in Hamburg Central Station, then that’s kind of a tradition, too. Mmmm. Always delicious. Not warm today. The last time I was here in Hamburg, it was warm, which was even better, of course. I can’t really see why it’s there now, but it says: “Due to current events, the connection is no longer running.” So that’s my connection now, which then goes to Berlin. “Please find a new connection for your journey.” But the train is running, it’s on time, and is supposed to go to Schwerin. And the other train… is supposed to go too. It’s kind of restricted bicycle transport, but I don’t have a bike. So, it’s a mystery to me why that’s there, but it’s already worrying. So now it just says that it’s no longer possible. But why? My best guess is that it simply does, and it’s a glitch in the app. Let’s hope so. So, and now we’re already in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. That means… (Schwanheide), … that’s the first stop in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania … (Exit on the right in the direction of travel) … and exactly, we’re not getting off there, of course, but that means we’ve arrived in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and that’s federal state number six. Have fun in Schwerin, at the castle and everything. Thank you very much… It was nice to meet you. Yes. Very much. I didn’t think I’d meet someone so special. Well, you said that, but I don’t feel special. Thank you very much! We’re getting off now, at Schwerin Mitte, so we can catch the train straight away to Berlin. So, it says Berlin Zoologischer Garten, it’s on time , and it’s also a double-decker train, with Brandenburg and Berlin. So this change went really well, but I’m almost a little worried about how well things will work out today. The slight delay the train had before wasn’t too bad and was enough for me to easily catch the train here. I don’t want to swear to it or anything, but I don’t really know what’s going on today. But I’m glad it is, because we want to cover as many federal states as possible. So, I see you’re really drawing something here. Yes. I’ve been drawing for seven years, I’d say. And this one is for my girlfriend. I’m flying to Romania now because I’m from Romania. Yes. And this one is my girlfriend. Very pretty. Thank you very much. So, I’ve rambled on, but that’s not so bad, because of course we’ve just crossed a border, namely the border to Brandenburg, and that means Brandenburg: get on the hook. And if I’ve calculated correctly, this is federal state number seven. [Announcement] “Our train’s departure will be delayed by a few minutes. The reason for this is overtaking by long-distance traffic. We ask for your understanding and a little patience. Thank you very much.” Now you can see it right here, and that’s it. That was the border , and now we’re in Berlin, and that’s federal state number eight. Eight federal states, and it’s not even 3:00 p.m., less than ten hours have passed, and I ‘ve already done eight. That’s really… I never would have thought that would work. That was exactly what the timetable said it would, so to speak, but that it would actually work: never in a million years. But now I’ll say Berlin: get on the hook. I wish you a good flight later, and it was very nice meeting you. Nice to meet you, too. Thank you. It was really a pleasure.
Thank you. Yeah. And it was very, really a beautiful painting. Thank you.
I’ve now arrived at Berlin Zoologischer Garten, and in about 45 minutes the next train will leave, which will then take me further south , and then, of course, to visit other federal states. This is one that goes to Dessau, and Dessau is in Saxony-Anhalt, and that would be the next federal state to be ticked off. The next train will leave in 25 minutes. It all goes pretty quickly; Berlin is only here for a very short time. But now a quick recap, because it’s now exactly 3:00 p.m., which means that I started this challenge almost 10 hours ago. The sun rose at 5:10 a.m., and that’s when it all started in Münster. 10 hours later, I have to say, I’m tired. I’ve just eaten something, and I’ve also got something, because it goes further and then it takes longer. The fact that I could have started in Oldenburg, theoretically, and then still have been able to include North Rhine-Westphalia, in the end – I’ve looked at it again now – doesn’t really matter. Because the train between Hamburg and Schwerin only runs every two hours, it means that if I had left an hour earlier I very likely wouldn’t have gotten the one before, because it starts in Hamburg. That means it would have left a few minutes or 15 minutes earlier and I wouldn’t have gotten it, no matter what I did. I would have just stood in Hamburg longer, which means I would have arrived here on exactly the same train as now. The plan is still working and it seems to be working just as I thought it out . [Music] So, now we’ve entered the next federal state. That is Saxony-Anhalt, and we’ve crossed the border again, and that means that is federal state number nine. I have the feeling that what I planned is going like clockwork today, because it’s only 4:35 p.m. and we’ve already passed nine federal states. And, if I’ve calculated correctly, the sun will be out for another five hours. We’ve just crossed the border. It’s the next federal state, this time state number 10, now Saxony, and this train goes all the way to Leipzig and I have to change there. So, now I’ve arrived in Leipzig, let’s see where exactly I need to go. Platform 7. Oh yes, this one is right here. The next train is directly to Eisenach, this one, and I’ll take that one from there. I feel really exhausted. It left at 5:00 a.m. this morning, and of course I got up a bit earlier at the hotel at 5:10 a.m. And that’s bothering me now. That’s why I’d be really happy if I could collapse into bed at some point. That’s it for now, isn’t it? So, I’m here again as a voice-over, because the sound in the clip was really pretty bad. What I’m basically saying here is: I’ve just crossed the border into Thuringia and I’m trying to get to Eisenach and maybe I’ll still be able to get to Hesse at the very end. So you can see how tight it might be if I change at Eisenach and then get the regional express towards Bebra. That’s what it looks like. But this regional express really can’t be delayed at all, or only very slightly, because if it’s more than seven minutes late, then the sun will have set first before we get to Hesse. And then that would be a real shame, of course. But I’m confident that it will work out, because basically everything went well today. [Music] So, now I have about half an hour until my train leaves. It’s the one to Bebra and it should be running, because otherwise I’ll be here in Eisenach. So, platform 6. And if I understand this correctly, it doesn’t look as if we have any long-distance trains getting in our way. That means there’s nothing standing in the way of a punctual departure. [Music] Yes, it wasn’t listed, but the most important thing is that this one is on time. It’s 15 past now. So, it should leave now. Ahhh! Right on the minute. People, people, people. It’s working. The whole thing is working. It’s actually totally absurd. I know exactly when the sun sets. Exactly. It’s calculated astronomically. I can look it up, you can google it, it’s exact, and yet, I sit out the window the whole time and somehow try to hope that it sets less slowly [*quickly]. So, if I’m not mistaken, that’s it. Welcome to Hesse. Federal state number twelve. [Announcement] Next stop: Herleshausen. That’s a place in Hesse. [Announcement] Exit on the right in the direction of travel. Really I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, that it actually worked. Everything, everything worked, today. Everything. That’s not normal. Guys, I can really understand if you’d accuse me of this all being fake, because it can’t be possible that things like this just work. Between 5:10 a.m. and 9:34 p.m. And this is Herleshausen and it is…. [Clock shows 9:27 p.m.] If you liked the video, you can subscribe. You can do that roughly here and here to the right of me, where you can watch another video, namely how I drove from Koblenz to the sea. That was pretty exciting too, everything went wrong there. If you’re interested, you can take a look there. And write to me in the comments if you have a better idea how to travel to even more federal states than twelve. From sunrise to sunset. And then write exactly how you would have done it. I’d be really interested to hear that, see you next time. Ciao.
