Information about the Germany Ticket

With the 63-euro ticket from Deutsche Bahn, you can use local and regional public transport throughout Germany for at least two years.

The ticket is only available as a monthly subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
It can be used on public transport (bus, subway, S-Bahn, tram) and for local and regional trains.
It is available digitally via a smartphone app or as a chip card.
You benefit from unlimited rides.
However, long-distance buses, ICE, EC and IC trains and trains from other providers (Flixtrain etc.) are not included.
The ticket is personal and therefore non-transferable.

Out and about in the Harz Mountains

The Germany Ticket (currently €63 per month) is accepted on the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways (HSB). It is valid on all regular trains across the entire Harzquerbahn and Selketalbahn network. A special feature: you can even use it on the historic steam trains at no extra charge.

Important exceptions and special features:

Route to the Brocken: The ticket is still not valid between Drei Annen Hohne station and the Brocken summit. A separate ticket at the Brocken fare is required for this section.
Bonus for subscribers: Anyone who takes out their Deutschlandticket subscription directly through HSB will receive a voucher for a one-way trip to the Brocken as a thank you gift.
Note: Please check the current availability in the HSB online portal beforehand, as new registrations were temporarily paused there due to technical changes.
