No train to Ammertal during the vacations

Bus instead of train: This applies during the summer vacation from Tuesday, July 30, to Sunday, September 8, on the route between Tübingen and Herrenberg.

A bridge is being replaced on the line from Tübingen to Stuttgart. For this reason, only buses will be running between… Read More
