How Travel Abroad With The Deutschlandticket

Basically, it’s all about border tariff points. But…what is a border tariff point exactly?

Well, in international railway traffic, a border tariff point designates a settlement boundary between two adjacent state railways. Until the border tariff point, a particular railway’s fare applies, but from there the neighbour’s tariff applies.

The border tariff points, or border tariff stations, are sometimes located outside of the country. One of the most commonly headed to from Munich would be Salzburg Austria (for example).
