Trains from Austria towards Sylt

For Austrians who would like to take their car with them on their Sylt vacation but are reluctant to take a long drive, the Urlaubs-Express offers a car train for most of the journey. With the car trains, your car simply rides on the transport carriage while you relax in a couchette or sleeping car, traveling overnight to Hamburg without traffic jams. The last 200 km from Hamburg to Sylt will then fly by, rested and behind the wheel. If you don't bring your car, Deutsche Bahn will connect you to Sylt in Hamburg-Altona.
