From Bitterfeld to Berlin

This cab ride was recorded from an ICE-T (series 411) en route from Fulda to Frankfurt a / d Main airport. Both cities are located in the state of Hesse. This section is one of the busiest routes in Germany and, due to the low track speed, it will be relieved in the coming years by the construction of a high-speed route. The speed limit here is now 160 km p/ h, but also less in certain parts.
