Today I tried the Premium Class on the Austrian railjet. I was so bold to start my train year with choosing the seat N° 13.

Appetizing name for a train
Now that I call an appetizing name for a train! This train connecting Vienna with Freilassing (Germany) is named ‘Gutes Essen im Zug’ (English: ‘Good meals on train’)
What did I learn by this InterRail trip in 2011
The journey is over. I have reached the entrance hall of my town’s railway station. So what did I learn by this special trip in December?

Interesting place to spend your wait at the railway station of Innsbruck: The infopoint about the Brenner Base Tunnel.
Working on trains
One reason for me to travel by train is the chance to work while travelling. Of course this is just a saying if you don’t choose your train wisely.
Innsbruck Central Station in Tyrol
The 8th day of my InterRail trip ended in Innsbruck. The idea to travel from the Baltic Sea to the Alps was implemented. By the way the two artworks at the railway station were created by Max Weiler.
The ‘Brezel’ Lady on the ICE
A detail I really love: On my way from Hamburg to Munich a lady boarded the ICE and sold Brezel until she left the train at the next station. I was told in summer they are selling ice cream instead. Nice idea, isn’t it? Is there a similar service in your region too?
Main railway station in Lübeck
