Interiors Rethought for Relaxation

Better Connections Throughout Europe
The ICE L will complement the international scope of the broader German rail network, which is an essential part of Europe’s international rail travel hub. It will effortlessly connect German tourist hotspots, including Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg, with other neighboring counties such as Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
The new train service will provide an efficient form of travel other than flying or driving for tourists all over Germany and Europe. The fact that the ICE L can travel on some non-electrified rails will allow tourists in Germany to visit other hard to reach regions that were much easier to access by train.
The fact that the rest of Europe will soon be connected to the German ultra high speed train links will allow the ICE L to easily connect German tourists with other cities like Paris, Amsterdam, or Zurich. It is also intended to greatly improve the connectivity of Europe and allow easier border crossing travel for tourists.
Migrating Our Plans for the Future and Expanding Tourism
It is projected that the ICE L will serve as both an appealing option for tourists and a prototype for Europe’s future high-speed trains. Proposals for the high-speed rail network expansion from the German government and Deutsche Bahn continues to plan advanced development for the country’s high-speed rail network, anticipating new lines to serve more developed and more remote regions that have not been targeted.
Implementing the ICE L will promote travel to rural German destinations and small towns that are off the beaten path. Tourists will be increasingly able to take advantage of Germany’s expansive network, enabling them to encounter the country’s rich landscape, history, and culture.
Germany’s improved rail infrastructure provides more efficient and sustainable travel options. This development is more relevant than ever for the tourism sector. More tourists are anticipated in the future, as the overall travel experience is improved, and the focus will be placed on the ICEL’s development and expansion.
