SVT Görlitz historical train excursions

Overview

The SVT Görlitz, a restored high-speed railcar from the former East Germany, has begun a series of special excursion trips. Following a successful journey from Dresden to the North Sea island of Sylt, which included themed catering to evoke the train’s original era of service, the vehicle is scheduled for further trips.

A subsequent journey, named the “Kaiserbad-Kurier,” is planned for November 17. Organized by the private initiative “Ein Zug für Mitteldeutschland,” this route will travel between the islands of Usedom and Rügen, departing from Heringsdorf and traveling via Stralsund to reach Binz.
