This is a run that's quite different from anything else in the area. It's the only mainline in northern Germany to receive the prestigious Thomas Cook scenic railway accreditation.  You will see why!  From the Lübecker Bucht, the dunes north of the small city, through the low lying countryside to Oldenburg and then across the Fehmarnsund bridge to the island of Fehmarn. It's a dash across the island, the Vogelfluglinie, to Puttgarden in the ICE, we can't afford to be late - we have a ferry to catch!
