Good luck getting any of them!

This appears to be just another of the "official" scams Deutsche Bahn is introducing to the public every once in a while. The number of tickets is ridiculously low and it's close to impossible to obtain one of those deals.

IMHO it's about time for the German Cartel Supervisory Board to monitor this practice of "false" advertising.

Hi hsv, I didn't have a problem getting a ticket Munich-Zurich. It's usually only one train per day, but if you leave and return midweek from Munich it's possible. Roundtrip Munich to Rome next week for 58,- is still possible, too.

It's a great deal. We got Cologne-Amsterdam tickets for 19 euro.

logos,

sounds great! Should I have to revise my statement?

I tried several days and weeks in order to obtain Hamburg - Copenhagen and failed. As did numerous friends of mine. So you and marty are the first persons I hear of (ever) succeeding in getting cheap train fare. Congratulations!
