    Stuttgart - Köln is one of the connections that go max speed, and it really is glorious.

    But I don’t think there’s actually that many places the ICE can go that fast, is there?

        Not a whole lot, then. But then again, even 160km/h is faster than the average speed you’d travel at on the Autobahn

      I posted this comment already elsewhere in this thread, but lemme quote myself:

      The ICE’s max speed depends on model and variies from 250km/h to 300km/h. These speeds can be reached on:

      • Hannover-Würzburg (280km/h)
      • Mannheim-Stuttgart (280km/h)
      • Oebisfelde-Berlin (250km/h)
      • Siegburg-Frankfurt (300km/h)
      • Köln-Düren (250km/h)
      • Rastatt-Offenburg & Schliengen-Haltingen (250km/h)
      • Nürnberg-Ingolstadt (300km/h)
      • Ebensfeld-Leipzig/Halle (300km/h)
      • Wendlingen-Ulm (250km/h)

      There are more of these tracks currently under construction:

      • Stuttgart-Wendlingen (250km/h)
      • Bashaide-Rastatt (250km/h)

      And many more are currently in the planning stage:

      • Hamm-Bielefeld (300km/h)
      • Oebisfelde-Berlin (300km/h)
      • Ulm-Augsburg (300km/h)
      • Gelnhausen-Fulda (250km/h)
      • Frankfurt-Mannhein (300km/h)
      • Bielefeld-Hannover (300km/h)
      • Nürnberg-Würzburg (300km/h)
